install dvd's had the option for "rescue mode" and after
"chroot /mnt/sysimage" you were actually in the installed
and not booting system and all commands, configs etc affected
this - not sure how this works with recent fedora versions
since the option is gone and live-cd at all

but drop to a shell, mount your drive of the installed system
and "chroot /mountpoint/ shoule maybe be enough, however i
would always type "sync" to write back buffers befpre reboot
as i practically always does (look in the archives for bugs
then and there over the time missing this at shutdown)
