fc3 install issue

[Steve Dawes]

Well, that would be because the latest kernel would be different on the
installation that you are doing. You are going to need to use the tab key as
is showen in the howto to help you find the kernel that you are using in
your mkinitrd.

Is this before your reboot the installation?

Is your computer still at this screen? Or have your rebooted since (or
turned it off)?
