Choose Typical installation mode instead of Advanced or Express.  Then
you should not get this question.

I would if I could.

"Typical" installation mode assumes the name of the admin domain is the
domain part of the machine name. If it's not (in this case, it is not),
then setup goes through an infinite loop, asking for the configuration
directory details over and over again, rather than doing the most obvious
thing - ask for the name of the admin domain.

The only workaround at this point is to choose "advanced", but then you
cannot get past the sample entries part.

This will be fixed in FDS 1.0.4

The installer is written such that in Typical mode, the admin domain is hard coded. So you have to use Custom/Advanced mode to enter it.
As I said, seems the installer is terminally broken.
The last resort is to just create a silent install file and just use setup -s -f silent.inf - see http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Install_Guide#inf_File_Format_for_core_directory_server_installation
