Can't boot Fedora 4 on my Mac (PPC, G4)

I have the exact same problem as Errol did back in June but I could
not find a posted solution.  I have spent many hours (what seems like
endless hours) trying to solve it.

Paul or anyone, do you know how I can solve this problem?  ... and
yes, I do have multiple installation discs (5 CDs).

Thanks,
Scott

I'm pretty sure this is a bug that was for final:

Can you confirm if you have multiple disks?

If so I can talk you through repairing - it's a recoverable issue.
