Did you specify a full path to "disc1"?  If not, is there a "disc1"
directory in your _current_ directory?  I'm willing to bet the "file not
found" is referencing the mountpoint, not the ISO file.  Try this:

# mkdir /mnt/disc1
# mount -r -o loop /home/yumrepository/FC-5-i386-disc1.iso /mnt/disc1

And the "-r" is optional...you can't write to an ISO disk anyway--the
disk is "full".
