First let me state that C2T1 worked beautifully - no issues at all.
Here's my hardware -
Asus A7N8X Deluxe (Athlon 2700 XP+) w/ 256 MB PC 3200
IDE Bus 0 - Master: (/dev/hda) 4GB IDE drive (Quantum Fireball - originally from a 233 Rev A Beige G3 - it's my test install drive)
IDE Bus 1 - Master: (/dev/hdc) Sony CD-RW CRX140E IDE Bus 1 - Slave : (/dev/hdd) Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-M1712
Generic floppy on /dev/fd0
Video: AOpen (Generic) NV17 [GeForce4 MX 440] PCI Cards:
Adaptec AHA-2940U/UW/D / AIC-7881U (no drives attached) Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 model NC100 (tulip card) U.S. Robotics 56k PCI hardware modem
Problems -=- The CD's (I tried CD1 and CD2) would not boot (md5sum of burned media checks out fine) I had deb sarge on my test drive - so I booted that and mounted the first CD to look for a boot floppy (like I had to use to boot Mandrake 10 C.D.) - found the boot.iso - burned that, that booted.
First that hung at trying to load a USB mass storage driver. So I shut down, detached my digital camera card reader, and tried again.
It got a little farther - but said it didn't have a driver for the media - and asked if I wanted to load a driver. I didn't see any nforce IDE drivers in the list - I'm assuming it's a bug.
-=- At any rate - FC2T1 boots and installs on this hardware absolutely no problem. Even with the flash card reader attached.
Since Mandrake Community Download 10 also has the same issue - I'm wondering if Fedora and Mandrake are using the same mastering software (I assume isolinux and friends) that happens to be broken with my CDROM drive ... (RH 8/Knoppix/FC2T1/MandrakeMove/Sarge all boot me no problem).
Is there a boot floppy anywhere I can gran to try to boot the install CD 1 that way? Anyone else with similar hardware have a solution?

its a known problem that cd1 won't boot for some people, the solution is to boot FC1 CD, and while you are at the boot prompt, swap CDs! (replace fc1 cd with the fc2-test2 cd1 and hit enter to boot).
pesonaly, i didn't have that problem, i'm using an Pioneer SCSI DVD drive, although i did have other problems, like booting freezes while iptables is been loaded.
