Another person's experience installing FC2 test 2

I am running a dual boot Win2k/Fedora system. Originally formatted by Win2k for the NTFS and Fat32 partitions and formatted by RH7/8/9 for the ext3 and linux swap partitions. I got the already known complaints during the install. I couldn't do a hard disk install because I didn't have a driver. The CDROM install warned about partition alignment problems. I didn't upgrade my FC1 system but rather installed FC2 to an existing ext3 partition which I bravely reformatted as reiserfs. The installation went smoothly and rapidly. Rebooting, I found to my annoyance, that the boot loader was overridden and now pointed to somewhere that didn't have my fc1 configuration, thus forcing me to do some grub.conf editting. But more seriously, with selinux turned on, I couldn't start. init did not have the proper permissions. Rebooting with selinux turned off, didn't help since there was no inittab. Copying the inittab from fc1 didn't help since there was no rc.d/rc. How should I proceed?
