There's an updates disk image at

ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/testing/RH7.2-installer/updates-Nov07-13.img

CHANGELOG:

updates-Nov07-12.img:

* Add time that bootloader install waits before trying grub
  (temp workaround for fs/grub interaction problems)
* Skip past SGI screen during kickstart
* Remove "registered" character from first screen, GTK didn't like it.
* Allow setting of labels on XFS filesystems
* Do not allow bootloader to be placed on 1st sector of XFS partition


The delay for grub is a bit excessive, but it works for now until a
better solution is found.

To use the updates disk, dd it to a floppy:

dd if=updates-Nov07-12.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k

and then run "linux updates" at the installer prompt.

Have fun,

-Eric
