Unable to boot into FC2

I successfully installed FC2 on /dev/hda2 but I selected no bootloader 
during the installation because I wanted to boot using a floppy instead 
of altering my MBR which is used by XP. I was never prompted to make a 
bootdisk during the FC2 installation so I'm not sure how to access it. I 
booted with FC2 Disc #1 and typed "linux rescue", chroot /mnt/sysimage/ 
then ran mkbootdisk --device /dev/fd0 kernel-version.

When I reboot with the floppy it gives me a boot: prompt but errors 
after I type "linux" with this message:

Boot Failed: Please change disks and press a key to continue.

How do I boot into FC2?
