Fedora 10 installation failing and dropping to shell

Hello,

I downloaded the Fedora 10 CD and attempted to install. The
installation starts and then drops to shell as follows when not in
quiet mode:

...
starting udevd
creating devices
Waiting for system to settle
mounting /dev/root
lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 3 Jan 28 01:10 /dev/root ->sr0
---------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: Requested /sbin/init binary does not exist on rootfs
---------------------------------------------------------

Dropping to a shell. Good luck!

I checked in the /sbin and init directory and it is not there. Is this
a detection issue of some sort or a known bug in the installation? I
looked for this problem quite a bit in google, but did not see an
explanation or work around that was comprehensible. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jason
