I changed the sequence numbers to duplicate yours (and that of my 
older Red Hat 7) and edited (all three existing versions of) 
"route-eth0" to read:

ADDRESS0=192.168.3.73        / Host IP
NETMASK0=255.255.255.255
ADDRESS1=192.168.3.254       / Gateway IP
NETMASK1=255.255.255.255
ADDRESS2=0.0.0.0             / Default route
NETMASK2=0.0.0.0
GATEWAY2=192.168.3.254

All entries appear to be necessary for the routing table to be 
correct after boot. RH-7 is certainly simpler and less messy...

I now have an Fedora 10 system that boots! Thanks, guys.

Joe.
