...or this. The install completed without errors and firstboot appeared
on reboot. I don't know what went wrong for you. Can you check the
version of the firstboot package, and see if upstart-sysvinit or
systemd-sysvinit is installed? Are you sure it's Beta RC3 you're
testing, you didn't accidentally download an earlier image?
Well, it's the image advertised/linked in the RC3 release announcement:

$ sha256sum Fedora-14-Beta-i386-DVD.iso
8cf311230f8898c2eb7c53e4c4dfa69c17e44c4b735eaeff0cb4883b9ef16ece
Fedora-14-Beta-i386-DVD.iso
$ rpm -q upstart-sysvinit firstboot
upstart-sysvinit-0.6.5-8.fc14.i686
firstboot-1.112-3.fc14.i686
$ chkconfig --list firstboot
service firstboot supports chkconfig, but is not referenced in any runlevel (run
'chkconfig --add firstboot')
$ rpm -q --scripts firstboot
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if ! [ -f /etc/sysconfig/firstboot ]; then
systemctl enable firstboot-text.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
systemctl enable firstboot-graphical.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
fi
preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if [ $1 = 0 ]; then
rm -rf /usr/share/firstboot/*.pyc
rm -rf /usr/share/firstboot/modules/*.pyc
chkconfig --del firstboot
systemctl disable firstboot-graphical.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
systemctl disable firstboot-text.service >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
fi
Huh? No chkconfig --add firstboot?
install.log says:

/etc/sysconfig/firstboot doesn't exist yet, of course.
