Installer question

Greetings all,

I've read Tony's excellent mini-howto at
http://www.linuxworks.com.au/redhat-installer-howto.html, but I've got a
problem that I just can't seem to get around.

I want to add an application to the redhat 7.3 installer so it gets loaded
into the rescue disk when one boots into rescue mode.  I made an RPM of
this application and I know the RPM's it requires to run.  I'm assuming
that these files will need to make their way into the stage2.img, but I'm
having no luck making this happen.

I figured initially that by adding my package names to the $PACKAGES
variable in upd-instroot would do this, but it did not.  Then I tried
forcing it into mk-images where I saw rpm2cpio being called, but still no
luck.  I was able to mount stage2.img, put my files in via rpm2cpio, then
re-run mkcramfs to modify stage2.img, but then the redhat CD I created
would no longer boot into rescue mode ... it kept prompting me to load the
RedHat CD over and over.

I know someone else out there must've done this at some point.  Any
insight would be appreciated.
