I switched back to a variation on what I used prior to believing those dracut 
boot messages:

title Install Fedora 17 - m.u.k.o HTTP (2012/05 anaconda)
     kernel (hd0,6)/f17inst/vmlinuz 
repo=http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/fedora/development/17/i386/os 
ip=192.168.1.2 gateway=192.168.1.1 netmask=255.255.255.0 dns=192.168.1.1 
rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 splash=verbose noipv6 enforcing=0 selinux=0 
xdriver=radeon resolution=1152x864 vga=794 nodmraid nofirewire #(again, too long)
     initrd (hd0,6)/f17inst/initrd.img

but this gives same result as in OP, attempted to kill init following dracut 
/dev/root does not exist, deprecated network params dns gateway netmask, and 
please supply bootdev argument for multiple ip= lines.
