LILO, unlike grub, needs to be installed properly after configuration file 
changes. You appear to have replaced your existing boot entry with the Fedora 
one; I'd suggest leaving the existing entry there (with the Fedora entry as an 
addition) until after you've installed Fedora successfully. When you've got 
both entries in your lilo.conf file, run "lilo -v -v" (I think - it's been a 
while since I used LILO) to set up lilo. You should then be able to enter 
"Fedora" at the LILO prompt to boot into the installer.
