The following is off the Redhat Web Site
http://www.redhat.com/download/howto_download.html#bootimage.
Choosing a boot image file
If you downloaded the ISO images and you're going to burn them to CD-ROMs,
you may not need to download a boot image. If your machine is able to boot
from a CD-ROM, just boot from the first CD-ROM (the one you made from the
redhat-7.0-i386-disc1.iso file). If your machine is not capable of booting
from a CD-ROM, but you can mount the CD drive, then you can get the boot
image from that CD-ROM.
The boot images are located in the images directory. You'll need the
boot.img file, unless your CD drive is connected to your machine via a
PCMCIA card. If your CD drive is connected via a PCMCIA card, you'll need to
get the pcmcia.img file.
You can alternatively download the boot image files from
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/current/i386/images.
If you've downloaded the RPMs and you're going to install from your hard
drive, you'll need the boot.img file from the same directory:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/current/i386/images/.
Once you've chosen and obtained the boot image file that you need, you'll
need to transfer it to a diskette.
I hope this helps,
