I should have indicated more clearly that I have tried 'linux text'.
I also tried two other options 'noprobe' and 'skipddc' (I'm not in
front of that machine at the moment and could have that last one
wrong, but it was to inhibit monitor probing). I have also tried
these options in combination. They all result in nothing but a black
screen.

Steve, if you have any earlier versions of Fedora Core software
please try them and see what they produce.

If I enter 'linux mediacheck' at the boot prompt, I also get

media check?
It sounds now as if the loader can't guess well enough what
your video card is and your monitor is. So try starting with
"linux-text" and see if that comes up.

I'm running:

Any ideas on getting an install process that I can see executing?
Thanks!

Did you test your cd-rom's before trying to load? It might be
a problem in disk 1. I loaded that way no problem.
