is this even supported by the redhat installer?  I don't think that it
is.  when you install from harddrive, it expects the exploded images to
be in a directory.  

what I would try (if you cannot burn to CD) is mount each CD in order,
RH disk 1, then RH disk 2, then SGI...each time cp -r the contents into
a directory.

then try to install off of that partition...
