I don't have any F9Plpha boot media, and I've not located any.
I can download this:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/packages/kernel/2.6.25/0.65.rc2.git7.fc9/x86_64/
and unpack it, and create a bootable CD (I have a script someplace that
puts grub on a CD, adding a kernel might not be difficult) or usb disk
(I suppose I can get it from the BIOS and hence from existing grub).
I'll work on that until someone has a better idea.
