This may work for hard drives, but it doesn't work for install off CD-ROM.
The installer quits after I select the CD-ROM installation option with a
second-stage bootloader "file not found" error.

[There's no vmlinux given for R5b1, so I'm using the R4 installer's copy. 
The CD from which I am trying to install is in ISO-9660/RockRidge format,
made with mkisofs on an IBM RS/6000 SP[1], with the RedHat directory in
the root.]

[1] Not that I think this part makes much difference [except to my CPU
quota], but you never know.
