Anyone managed to do this? The exact procedure which worked in F10 results in anaconda telling me it can't find the image in F11 beta (using the DVD iso).
Has F11 changed the procedure yet again?
I've submitted this bugzilla with more details:

I don't think you can just point it at the ISO anymore, at least it hasn't worked for me that way for awhile, probably back around F9 or F10. Instead, I've had to make a directory, mount the DVD with loop, and do cp -ra <DVDMOUNT>/* <NEWDIRECTORY>, then point the install to that NEWDIRECTORY>
The same (for me anyway) with NFS. Although in theory one can just have a mount -o loop (with some other flags if SELinux is involved), in practice, for me this has been iffy, so I've just given up and use the same procedure as above--that is, mount -o loop and copy all files into a new directory.
I never filed a bug since Fedora's not a production system for me, and CentOS and therefore, I presume, RH, will still work if one simply points NFS or hard disk install to an ISO.

Copying all the files is a bigger pain than burning a dvd :-). In f10, the only file it wanted a copy of was images/install.img. That gets into anaconda's GUI, but on about the 2nd screen it says "can't find image" (or something like that) and gives me a button with one choice: Exit.

Correct.
What you need to do is in the same dir that the dvd.iso resides, create a images dir and put the install.img file in it.
/path/to/dvd.iso /path/to/dvd.iso/images/install.img
Above is hwo it should look and what to have and the install should then go ahead.

That's what I did - it doesn't work with the files from the fedora 11 beta x86_64 DVD image (don't know about the others, since that's the only one I've tested).
The images/install.img file enables it to get farther. I get errors much earlier in the process without it, so it has some effect, it just can't actually complete the install (or really even get started - it dies around the 2nd screen of the GUI installer).

Bug 491781 - Hard Drive ISO installation failure: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_Beta_release_notes#Anaconda_install... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=491781
The bug you have filed is at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=494086
Both seem to be the same bug with the same error message "The installation source given by <device> not found". I am closing the one you have filed as a duplicate.
