ok guys...
here's what i have right now. and it seems to work.
i went into the system/display and changed the display settings to be 640x480, with 256 colors...
but the interesting thing was that FC3 didn't allow me to select a monitor/display from the list of displays. the select dialog was always grey.... (curious!!)
changing the display attributes has apparently resolved the issue. i can now boot up the server with no monitor, no keyboard, and no mouse.. which is where i was a week ago...
thanks, and hopefully this thread will be captured and available via google if someone else has this issue!!!

Then you don't need it to start up in graphics mode, which may
explain why it's freezing up on you. Change your /etc/inittab to boot
into runlevel 3 - look for the line at the beginning that says
'id:5:initdefault:' and change it to 3 instead of 5. Reboot.
