Syslinux - Oct 2005 - Is it possible to install FC4 to my HD?

I have a Laptop with 6G HD, there are FD and CD-ROM port to external
devices. But I only have a external floppy drive, no cd-rom.
Now I boot from 1fd linux and make HD as partition, next I want to install
FC4 on this laptop.

But FC4 CD only support CD-ROM or USB memory, I tried to write diskboot.img
to /dev/hda1 with dd command, I found all files in image bootdisk.img in
/dev/hda1, but when I boot laptop, HD isn't booted, no anything on screen.

It is possible to boot HD after using 
cat MBR.bin > /dev/hda

Thanks for your suggestion.

It should be, although you also need to mark /dev/hda1 active using fdisk.
