On a T43, you may be able to get this by pressing F12, if the BIOS is set 
to allow it.

But, you can also upgrade using yum:

Basically:
- yum update yum
- yum clean all
- rpm -Uvh (the proper fedora-release package)
- yum upgrade

I successfully upgraded FC4 to FC6 using this method.

the system usually gives you a possibility to chose a boot device if you 
press the right key. look for the "Press DELETE to enter setup/BIOS" or 
somethig similar output. alongside you could find sth like "Press F10 to 
choose boot device". again, this isn't the exact outpu you might get it is 
only an aproximation of what to look for!
