FC3 ships with a 2.6.x kernel.  Win4Lin usually supplies its own kernel,
which 
is added to the boot loader menu so you can choose.  Looking at Netraverse's

website, I don't see any reference to them supporting a 2.6 kernel.  The
page 
you point to is for building your own Win4Lin kernel, in case you have a 
customized kernel and you want to add support for Win4Lin to it.  You might
be 
able to do just that using those instructions, but I would start by emailing
or 
calling Netraverse and asking them if Win4Lin will run on FC3/kernel 2.6.
