I used the boot.img bootdisk because I have a non-bootable
cdrom drive, I hope this isn't a problem?

Can't comment on that one. Should work.

The partition I used is hdc2, beyond the 1024 cylinder, what
might be a problem, but a stock-EXT2-Redhat 7.1 can run
without any trouble from hdc2.
Did I miss something important or is this an installer related
bug?

The installer I used (test4 iso image) gave an error that /boot was above 1024 cylinders on my notebook. Which is nonsense since it actually should try to use lba32 instead. Because I know it works.
Or print a warning that it might not bootable after installation and suggest making the floppy.
