I downloaded the netinstall 23-Alpha from
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/test/23_Alpha/Server/i386/iso/.

The grub menu I created is:
menuentry 'Remote Install' {
set root='hd0,msdos1'
echo    'Loading Linux'
linux /boot/vmlinuz-remote
repo=hd:sda2:/Fedora-Server-netinst-i386-23_Alpha.iso selinux=0
ks.device=enp0s30 ks=hd:sda2:/ks.cfg --noip6 inst.sshd ramdisk_size=8192
panic=30
echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
initrd  /boot/initrd-remote.img
}

Both vmlinuz and initrd were copied from the iso.

Booting the menu entry 'Remote Install', It gets to the 'Reached Basic
system' and after a few minutes drops to dracut with the /dev/root does
not exist error message.

I added the LABEL to the linux line in grub.cfg that I got from the iso
file isolinux.cfg. This did not help.
Searches found comments that the LABEL should be set to LIVE. That did
not work either.

I then burned the iso and booted with it. I got the the screen where you
make selections from language etc. I then stopped as I would like to
accomplish the install remotely.

I have been using the above entry for grub.cfg since f16(with some
modifications as Fedora requirements changed) with no problems.

Anyone else seeing this?
What am I over looking?

I'm not sure if it is the same problem (I booted from PXE with DVD.iso on the hard drive and had no issues with mounting root), but please note that using DVD.iso image from a hard drive is broken at the moment:

There might be another regression affecting netinst or loading it directly from grub.
Is there any additional tests I can run or information I can provide to help isolate the problem?
