Question No drives found to boot Red Hat Linux error during install


During installation of Red Hat Linux 9 I get the error "No devices found to boot Red Hat Linux" and it bales out of the intall. I made a driver image diskette of drvblock.img from the Red Hat install disk number one to a floppy in my a: drive using \dosutils\rawrite. During the Red Hat 9 install I get the window telling me I need to install drivers and hit F2 to install from drive a: and drive a: is not one of the options to install drivers from. I'm stuck. Does anyone know a work around for this. I'm using a Dell Dimension PC, very new, and trying to install to a second internal hard drive that has nothing on it. I'm installing from CD.
