Do you need to remove floppy drive to use cd drive? If not, just make a
boot floppy using one of the images in the "images" directory on the cd
and boot from that. If you need to remove the floppy drive to use cd
drive, maybe you can hot-swap them or else copy the Redhat/RPMS and
Redhat/base directories to a fat partition on the hdd and boot from
floppy.
