(A question is whether Mac keyboard actually sends F8 by default, perhaps connect an external one). If you can see GRUB, try older kernels.

The ISO needs to boot, that's a prerequisite. If it doesn't, please file a bug and link it here, we'll make it a blocker bug for Fedora 40. Thanks for testing.
