Hi,

Ok I can do that, but how do I do that on boot? I could modify the iso 
but I don't have the normal grub bootscreen so I can edit it.

I tried replacing the CDLABEL parameter in the kernel arguments but this 
gets me nowhere.

You state it's a bug on Fedora, but from a user perspective that doesn't 
matter.... it just doesn't work properly. And this hasn't worked for 
nearly a year now.

An installer where you have to manually enter parameters on boot in a 
limited time window (a couple of seconds otherwise you have reboot 
again) doesn't make us admins happy.
