I have a DOS floppy that can do that.
it uses sjcdapi.sys and mscdex.exe to load the cdrom. after that, you
should be able to change drives to the cdrom and then cd /dosutils
and then run autoboot.bat
once thats done, RH should start the install process right from the cd.
if you want, I'll send a copy of my dos floppy (or bring it by the
meeting).
