Thanks for the tips.

I copied the files from the boot.iso (boot.cat, general.msg,
isolinux.cfg, rescue.msg, vmlinuz, boot.msg, initrd.img, options.msg,
snake.msg,  isolinux.bin, param.msg, splash.lss) to a separate folder
(/usr/local/bootdisk/isolinux). Do I use these now make the image? If I
do, I get the following error:

Warning: creating filesystem that does not conform to ISO-9660.
call to search_tree_file with an absolute path, stripping
initial path separator. Hope this was intended...
mkisofs: Uh oh, I cant find the boot catalog directory
'/usr/local/bootdisk/isolinux'!

This is the mkisofs I use:

mkisofs -r -N -L -d -D -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table
-J -V  "Custom Distro" -b /usr/local/bootdisk/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c
/usr/local/bootdisk/isolinux/boot.cat -o /mnt/hdd/RH9/loonix.iso
/mnt/hdd/RH9/ONE_CD

Unless I am mistaken, you want to use -b isolinux/isolinux.bin rather
than 
 -b images/boot.iso

You may also want to add a few more options:
- -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table

Here are the mkisofs options Red Hat uses to generate the distro:
- -A Red Hat Linux/i386 9 -V Red Hat Linux/i386 9 -J -R -v -T \
- -x ./lost+found -o (long path snipped) -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c 
isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table
