You are asking a question about a test release.
However, This is not the test release mailing list!
In this case the initial boot disk (disc #1) has problems.
The work around is to use the FC2-test1-i386-disc*.iso
and at the first chance switch disks to FC2-test2-i386-disc*.iso.
For some reason the initial boot sector/image/sector or some thing
is not getting burned for most users. All the other bits are fine.
Follow the discussion on the test mailing list.
There are other fun issues to be aware of....
Sounds like you need to download and burn one more disc.

Also, when any test distribution (like FC2-test1-i386-disc1.iso)
starts up there is a screen with a bit of advice that test is test and
that you need to understand that things break. It gives you a chance
to exit.... ;-)
I would advise reading the test mailing list for two weeks of content+
then make a decision.
