The failure happens before it gets that far, unfortunately.

It asks me for the keyboard type and language, then the installation
method... then tells me I'm missing a driver...

All of that happens before the mediacheck is done.  I've booted with
"linux mediacheck" and it made no difference.

I'm booting from DVD on the FC3.i386 disk...

Too bad there's no way to enable additional debugging output.

Not a very handy message.
