hard disk install broken?

I just attempted my standard CD/DVD free install technique
with the x86_64 fedora 10 alpha DVD iso image, and I can't
seem to get it to work.
I mount the iso image and copy isolinux/vmlinux and initrd.img
to my main /boot partition and make a grub entry to boot them.
I then boot that entry to get the installer going, and my first
problem is an interminable wait as it says it is looking for
installation media on /dev/sr0. It finally gives up, and let's
me pick local hard disk install as an installation technique.
That then asks for the partition and directory, I pick the
partition from the list and type the directory name in the
text field, but after going through all this 4 or 5 times
and verifying the directory names, it never works.
It always tells me it can't find any iso images in the location
I specified.
Do I need some kernel option I never had to specify before?
Anyway, I'm off to burn an actual DVD and see if that works...
