booted from floppy, using floppy images from 7.0beta cd1
        'boot dva0 -fi vmlinux.gz -fl "root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1"'

        Greetings.
        Red Hat install init version 7.0 starting
        mounting /proc filesystem... done
        mounting /dev/pts (unix98 pty) filesystem... done
        could not set new controlling tty
        checking for NFS root filesystem...no
        trying to remount root filesystem read write... done
        checking for writeable /tmp... yes
        running install...
        running /sbin/loader

        [install does not progress beyond this point.  Only ALT-F1 and
         ALT-F4 display anything]

Then tried booting directly from CD... it failed in exactly the same place

Problem with how RPM got built. It's been fixed internally.
