If you use standard RH9 installer - yes.
If you use either the CD ISO with XFS support - no.
If you use the DVD ISO with XFS support - no.

But I would recommend using Fedora Core 1 instead.
I only know of my DVD which you can find at
ftp://ftp.uninett.no/pub/Linux/RH-XFS-DVD/

It contains FC1 + many updates + XFS support.

You DO know FC1 can be seen as "RedHat 9.1" or "RedHat 10"
as it's basically the same but updated.
