I'll email you a copy of all of the initrd stuff later.

Something you may want to try is (if you have access to another
machine), make a copy of tomsrtbt (linux on a floppy) and mount the FC2
CD via that. Failing that, do you not have a boot rescue floppy from
RH9?

It does work. I've even gone from RH5 to FC2 in one swoop, but that was
only as I'm insane! (gnome1 to gnome2 caused more headaches than
anything I've ever had!)
