LILO, unlike grub, needs to be installed properly after configuration file
changes. You appear to have replaced your existing boot entry with the Fedora
one; I'd suggest leaving the existing entry there (with the Fedora entry as an
addition) until after you've installed Fedora successfully. When you've got
both entries in your lilo.conf file, run "lilo -v -v" (I think - it's been a
while since I used LILO) to set up lilo. You should then be able to enter
"Fedora" at the LILO prompt to boot into the installer.
Paul.
