I did a test install for Fedora Core 2 test 3 using XFS.
In order to enable XFS in the Fedora installer, when the installer boots
up, at the very first prompt, enter "linux xfs" (or "linux text xfs" to
run the installer in text mode).
I've found a few bugs which i filed to Bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/
The numbers of the bugs are:

looks like redhat is getting lazy here

XFS does labels just fine, something else is going on here, in fact I
have a fedora core setup which is all XFS (except /boot because of
the grub issue). I have about 4 filesystems which all mount fine,
but I am using device mapper for them all which probably changes
the mount sequence.
Because XFS labels can not be as long as the ext2/3 variants some of the
mountpoints are botched if it is mounted deep in the structure.
The label will then not be set on the device and thus the filesystem can
not be mounted during install I believe.
This is an older issue, because of this XFS mount by label was disabled
since the 1.0.2 series IIRC.

I don't make sense, I don't pretend to either. Questions?
