Quick question: When installing from the i386 DVD, I noticed that the installed skipped the first part of anaconda where the blue/red screen comes up and offers to check the install media. The installer just skipped to the graphical install.
Good-bye install.img, hello initrd.img!

The installer no longer needs to locate where install.img is (network, DVD, HD). The content previously included in the stage#2 install.img file, is now included in the initrd.img. There is some discussion (and I believe a bug report) on whether or not to prompt for mediacheck. The only prompt for external resources will be the yum repository screen. Here you can supply additional package repositories (local + remote).
