This is odd... I'm wondering if you have some problem with your CD-ROM
drive.  I recommend trying a network install from the Internet using the
boot.iso method that Jason suggested.  (boot.iso is only a few megabytes
so hopefully your CD-ROM will be able to read that okay.)

Also, any particular reason you are running Red Hat 9?  That's kinda old
and will be end-of-lifed at the end of this month.  If you want to stay
with the Red Hat line, you really should use Fedora Core 1 or one of the
RHEL 3 knock-offs (CentOS for example).
