FC 5 black screen before install

[sholtz at d.umn.edu]

I have actually downloaded, sha1sum'ed and burned two sets of discs
from two different mirrors.  Disc 1 from both burns results in the
black screen.

If I enter 'linux mediacheck' at the boot prompt, I also get nothing
but the black screen.  Is there another way to do the media check?
