rescue cd installation

[Kwan Lowe]

I just finished another installation via HTTP to the fedora mirrors. I didn't notice
any errors, but on bootup I was left at a blank screen. I re-enabled CD boot and
dropped into rescue mode. Couple items:

I tried to run grub-install to re-install the bootloader. Got this:

  sh-3.1# grub-install /dev/sda
  /sbin/grub: Not found.
  sh-3.1# which grub
  /usr/sbin/grub

> Release notes are not available from Anaconda installer.

> It takes a long time for dhcp client to retrieve an IP address (usually a second or
> so for other hosts, but it was taking close to a minute during installation).

> invalid source. I'm curious if it will let me return successfully and try again.
