Was the diskboot.img gone? If so, what is the replacement for diskboot.img? Almost all PCs can't boot from efidisk.img.

Isn't this bullet wrong? * Consolidated network booting ISO image, replacing old boot.iso, diskboot.img, and rescuecd.iso.
in that "boot.iso" is what remains?

Symantics. The "old" boot.iso is gone, the "new" boot.iso is consolidated. Originally it wasn't going to be called 'boot.iso', and it still isn't called that in the iso/ path, where it's called netinst.iso. However changing the name broke some software like virt-manager that expected a boot.iso to be there, so we use the compatible name in images/
Consolidated network booting ISO image, replacing old boot.iso, diskboot.img,
and rescuecd.iso.
Dose this mean that boot from USB-stick or HDD-partition will be impossible ?

No, it just means we don't have a tool right now to convert boot.iso into a usb disk image that still uses stage2

I think you missed his question. he is looking for .img files not .iso files.

Uh, no, I'm saying that we don't have a tool right now to take the produced .iso file and create a .img file out of it.
I already found that boot.img got much bigger than F8's. Probably it's one that called "Consolidated network booting ISO image" or "netinst.img". And, README beside the boot.img is not yet updated.

Thank you. I understood the situation. At some time in the future, maybe F10 or hopefully within the F9, boot from USB will be possible again. right?

The Release Notes say it works now (I haven't tried it):
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f9preview/en_US/sn-Live.html#sn-...
Note that it also supports a persistent filesystem, so you can carry your home dir around with you.
