Michael,
did you follow the Andras->Tom Horsley link?
Yes.
did you first extract the vmlinuz, initrd.img from the /isolinux/
directory on the iso?
Yes.
did you then create a grub.conf install stanza, following Horsley's example?
Note that he uses the "repo=" option;
Yes.
In my opinion you should try following his example exactly, including
the "repo=" part.
Did that too.
'Tis hard to document.
I have followed Horsley's prescription for hdinstalls for several
years with great success.
Here is the most recent stanza.
/dev/sda3 is no longer a DVD image.
It gave me error messages.
title Install Fedora from iso
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz repo=hd:LABEL=/home1:/
ks=http://www.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/~hennebry/anaconda-ks.cfg
initrd /initrd.img
#The /boot/f15x directory is where I extracted the vmlinuz
#and initrd.img files from the isolinux directory on
#the iso image, and /zooty/salvage/iso-images/Fedora-15-Beta-x86_64-DVD/
#is the directory where I saved the iso image (where
#the /zooty mountpoint mounts a partition with the label ZOOTY).

Here is what I fed to the grub command line this time:
root (hd0,2)
find /vmlinuz
find /initrd.img
kernel /vmlinuz repo=hd:LABEL=/home1:/
ks=http://www.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/~hennebry/anaconda-ks.cfg
initrd /initrd.img
boot

Here is the result from the grub command line:
