Unfortunately I can see no such option in the boot menu. I can see only 
these options:
- Start Fedora 18
- Troubleshooting
-- Start Fedora 18 in basic graphics mode
-- Test media and start Fedora 18
-- Run a memory test
-- Boot from local
-- Tab for full config. options
I experience the same problem in the Basic graphics mode. A blue screen 
appears with label Fedora in the bottom left corner. Then an icon of a 
harddrive appears, then nothing happens for long time and then a login 
screen appears. When I login again a harddrive icon appears again, then 
for some time nothing happens and again login screen.
Thank you. Vojta
