I'm curious why this would be necessary - the initrd used by isolinux is
the same as the pxeboot version:
$ md5sum isolinux/initrd.img images/pxeboot/initrd.img
cbbfcb2913f101f7f5d32d1b6c0410ab isolinux/initrd.img
cbbfcb2913f101f7f5d32d1b6c0410ab images/pxeboot/initrd.img
thus ought to have all the hardware drivers available without special
measures.
Are you booting from the CD or just using it for the RedHat/{base,RPMS}
resources?
Cheers,
Phil
