"No operating system found" usually means that the BIOS can't find a
bootable OS.  GRUB hasn't even entered the picture at this point.  Are
you sure your BIOS can boot off this drive?

I don't really know what to suggest though.  One workaround if you have
a floppy drive is to always use a boot disk, but since the Fedora disks
don't detect your disks automatically, you'll probably need to create
one by hand.  If you're familiar with compiling kernels, 'make zdisk' is
one way to go.

Good luck!
