You can google with "unable to open initial console".

Since FC3 uses udev for /dev, you need a initrd that starts udev (to create /dev entries).
You need to copy an initrd too.

Does your /boot/grub/grub.conf has lines like this?

 root (hd0,1)
 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=/dev/hda2 hdc=ide-scsi
 initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img
