Im trying to install the latest Fedora release on my Dell X200 laptop. The unique thing about the laptop is that the media dock, where the cdrom drive resides is bridged through a ieee1394 interface. When I installed Red Hat 9, I had to select the ohci1394 module and then
select
the sbp2 module which then allowed the install to continue. However, in fedora the sbp2 module is the only one listed the ohci1394 is missing.

I would bet that after you have FC1 installed you wouldn't have any problems. It is just booting from the CD's and such that is getting you down... Have you tried doing an online upgrade manually?

Well, you already have the CD's. If you backup any important files and data, you could try copying the RPM's onto your hard disks and doing "rpm -Fvh" until you get them done.
It would take a while and be a little laborious and typing intensive, but it could be done. I have done it to upgrade a box or two from 7.2 to RedHat Enterprise, because the CD's don't have an "upgrade" option.
