Look on the first cd. There are image files in one of the directories. There is more info in the install guide:

One general way is:

su
root password

mkbootdisk <kernel name>


For Red Hat you could try ;


mkbootdisk 2.4.20-8

make sure you unmount any filesystem under "floppy" first if need be.
