Now here is the intresting part. You should have cdboot.img's from
both the 72 and 73 build install, combine them into one (how to fit
it, I don't know) with a syslinux.cfg that has some entries like this:
label rh72
kernel vmlinuz-72
append initrd=initrd-72.img devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192 vga=788
And and an equivilent entry for rh73 specifing the 73 kernel and initrd.
The only problem I can forsee with this is trying to get both kernels
and both initrd's into one cdboot.img.
Good luck and let me know if it works.

I was looking in the source code, and I can see where it makes the
cdboot.img, and includes all of the modules (which explains why it is so
much larger than the regular boot.img files). I was thinking of
removing some of the modules to save space, and then make it create the
cdboot.img with both 7.3 and 7.2 kernels/initrd.imgs. The question that
I have before I begin this is:
Is it possible to create a boot disk that has two kernels/initrd.imgs?
I am guessing that syslinux is smart enough to do it, because you must
specify kernel and initrd.img in the syslinux.cfg file.
Any other ideas are also welcome.
