I boot from boot.iso, get dhcp address, specify NFS host & directory, partition the disk, etc. and when it comes time to mount the iso to a loopback device it can't.

There is a problem with installing from a hard disk, too - high on the rudeness scale since it formats your /boot and root file systems just before it fails. You can work around the NFS installation problem by hexedit'ing your -DVD.iso file - see comments 10 and 15 in bugzilla.
This is a Fedora 9 blocker bug, so it should be fixed by the time Fedora 9 becomes generally available.

This is a show stopper especially when NFS install is mostly all I do and to top it all off root can't even edit the file and rewrite it. But that HAS to be my fault.

1. Do you have hexedit installed? If not, yum install hexedit. 2. hexedit Fedora-9-Preview-i386-DVD.iso 3. /414c4c<enter> (This will search for the word ALL. The first ALL you find should be the one you want to change, but check comment 15 of the bug in bugzilla.) 4. 310a0a (This will replace ALL with 1<new line><new line>.) 5. <Ctrl>-X (To save and exit.)
There is more information about hexedit in the man page; for example, <Ctrl>-C exits without saving.
Hope this helps, Fred

Problem is I can't seem to write the file with either hexedit or khexedit.

This should be fixed in recent anaconda builds. You van use rawhide boot.ISO to install from nfs ISO of preview.

Yup, the boot.iso from rawhide solved this issue. Now I have a machine that can't find the logical disk on a compaq array driver. Machine is a DL360 G1.
