Take the initrd.img and vmlinuz files from the images/pxeboot directory of
your install media and copy them to /boot of your Red Hat 9 installation.
If you have no separate /boot partition, add the following entry to your
/etc/grub.conf:
title Fedora Core Install/Upgrade
root (hd0,0) <- use the same value here as for your existing
entries
kernel /boot/vmlinuz ramdisk_size=8192
initrd /boot/initrd.img
If you have a separate /boot partition, add the following entry to your
/etc/grub.conf:
title Fedora Core Install/Upgrade
root (hd0,0) <- use the same value here as for your existing
entries
kernel /vmlinuz ramdisk_size=8192
initrd /initrd.img
Then, reboot and you should be able to boot into the installer.
Paul.
