/dev/root does not exist when doing a remote install

I am trying to do a remote install of Fedora 19 using an iso on the 
/home directory (/dev/sda2). The only thing I have found during my 
searches is setting /dev/root up for a cdrom/dvd.

Currently the computer is running Centos 6.4.
This is the entry in grub:

title Remote Install
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-remote lang=en_US keymap=us 
repo=hd:sda2:/install/Fedora-19-i386-DVD.iso ks=hd:sda2:/install/ks.cfg  
ip=10.10.10.10 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=10.10.10.250 
hostname=work.home.com nameserver=127.0.0.1,208.67.222.222 noselinux 
ramdisk_size=8192 panic=30
initrd /boot/initrd-remote.img

Do I have an error in the syntax?

How and where do I fix the /dev/root failure?

Thanks,

David
