Well, it's the image advertised/linked in the RC3 release announcement:
http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/14-Beta.RC3/Fedora/i386/iso/

$ sha256sum Fedora-14-Beta-i386-DVD.iso 
8cf311230f8898c2eb7c53e4c4dfa69c17e44c4b735eaeff0cb4883b9ef16ece  Fedora-14-Beta-i386-DVD.iso


$ rpm -q upstart-sysvinit firstboot
upstart-sysvinit-0.6.5-8.fc14.i686
firstboot-1.112-3.fc14.i686

$ chkconfig --list firstboot
service firstboot supports chkconfig, but is not referenced in any runlevel (run 'chkconfig --add firstboot')


$ rpm -q --scripts firstboot
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if ! [ -f /etc/sysconfig/firstboot ]; then
  systemctl enable firstboot-text.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
  systemctl enable firstboot-graphical.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
fi
preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if [ $1 = 0 ]; then
  rm -rf /usr/share/firstboot/*.pyc
  rm -rf /usr/share/firstboot/modules/*.pyc
  chkconfig --del firstboot
  systemctl disable firstboot-graphical.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
  systemctl disable firstboot-text.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
fi


Huh? No chkconfig --add firstboot?


install.log says:

/etc/sysconfig/firstboot  doesn't exist yet, of course.
