Wow! It worked. Many thanks for all the help. I added the updates.img
file into the tree on the CD and created a new CD. It now runs
postinstall without ejecting the CD.

Is there a similarly elegant way to add a driver disk image?  I am still
struggling embedding an additional RAID driver into the boot CD. I
suppose I need to update the initial initrd file (using mkinitrd) and
then tell Anaconda to load the driver image during stage2. Can the
driver disk image be placed somewhere into the tree similar to the
updates.img?

Thanks
