That was included on the DVD iso?!?
It does still exist, of course:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/11/Fedora/x86_64/os/images/boot.iso
If it was once on the DVD iso, I'd imagine it may have been removed
for space considerations. The distro is far larger than a single DVD,
so space on it is precious, and boot.iso has grown a bit over the
years -- its now boot.iso, netinst.iso and rescue.iso all in one, with
the anaconda stage2 image included in it.
