If I'm understanding your explanation, this is working as designed.
The only "splash" screen I'm aware of prior to plymouth graphical boot
was the bootloader menu. In older Fedora releases, the grub bootloader
screen was always presented. That behavior was changed (can't find the
feature page link at the moment). To access the grub menu during boot,
you must press (and hold) <Shift> during boot. This behavior can be
changed in /etc/grub.conf.

The feature that James speaks of was the KernelModesetting [1] and
you should be able to press "anykey" if I'm not mistaken. <br>
<br>
Beside the feature page this got discussed here on the test list and
also in some bug if I recall correctly.<br>
( thou bugs should not generally be used for discussions that arent
technically related to problem in question ) <br>
You can search the list archives for the discussion if you need more
info on the matter.<br>

Afaik the 0 second timeout has been in effect since F10 on all
non-serial, non-multiboot installs. <br>
<br>
If you are doing serial install or have multiple operating systems
installed Anaconda should give you the 5 seconds timeout to select
however if it does not please file a bug against Anaconda <span
class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color:
rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal;
font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal;
line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform:
none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;
font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span"
style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans','Liberation Sans',sans-serif;

a look at it.<br>
<br>
You will need to set some timeout of your choosing in grub if you
want change this default behaviour and you can do so either by open
/etc/grub.conf and edit the timeout entry manually as James was
mentioned or you can open a terminal and run.<br>
<br>
su -c 'sed -i 's/timeout=0/timeout=5/g' /etc/grub.conf' <br>
<br>
which will change the default timeout of 0 to 5 seconds as it used
to be. <br>
<br>
If you want to disable plymouth and get more verbose output during
the bootup process simply remove "rhgb quiet" from the kernel entry
either in the grub menu at bootup or change it permanently by
removing it in /etc/grub.conf<br>
