I really want to thank everyone who responded!!!!
This worked for me as well and I've got it working from a kickstart installed using KOAN/Cobbler...
- After install has finished and before you reboot,
switch to text console on ALT-F2 of your install and copy the /mnt/sysimage/boot/grub2/grub.cfg to /mnt/sysimage/boot/grub/grub.cfg and edit the line:
set default="${saved_entry}"
to
set default=0
In %post, I did:
cp /boot/grub2/grub.cfg /boot/grub /bin/sed -i -e "s/set default.*/set default="0"/" /boot/grub/grub.cfg
And that's it. The F16 should boot now. The only difference to Eugene's steps is that I didn't worry about the ext2 boot partition. Mine is ext4.
I happened to use ext3 - but it worked fine...
