EFI booting that DVD to update an existing Fedora 17 Beta x86_64 with
EFI boot, and requesting "Do not change bootloader config", has left
my system unbootable.

First, it did change /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.conf, even though I asked
for no change.  Second, the update left only one stanza in grub.conf,
completely erasing what was there before.  This was an Update, so the
old stanzas should have remained present.  Third, the bootloader was
changed to one that cannot find anything, and always drops to
"grub rescue >".  Fourth, there is no "help" command in grub rescue.

Also, I cannot find an explicit Rescue mode on that boot.iso.  Appending
" rescue" to a kernel command line does get Rescue mode, but there
is NO grub*-install command on boot.iso, so I cannot re-install the bootloader.

FAIL, FAIL, FAIL, FAIL, FAIL, FAIL!
