The problem is that the installer expects to find everything it needs
under /mnt/sgi-disk (this is standard Red Hat installer behavior).
Pretending for a moment that you don't have the install images mounted
on loopback, what you would need to do is copy all of the RPMS from
seawolf-diskX/RedHat/RPMS into sgi-disk/RedHat/RPMS.
Since you have everything loopback mounted, you could probably get
creative with symlinks...
What you need to end up with is a top-level dir that contains all of the
sgi disk, plus all of the RPMs from RH disks 1 and 2 under RedHat/RPMS
