this part (loader.c/RH9) may interrest you too:

static void wrongCDMessage(void) {
    char *buf = sdupprintf(_("The %s CD was not found "
                             "in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert
"                             "the %s CD and press %s to retry."),
getProductName(),
                           getProductName(), _("OK"));
    newtWinMessage(_("Error"), _("OK"), buf, _("OK"));
    free(buf);
}

and:

        rc = mountStage2("/mnt/source/RedHat/base/stage2.img");
        /* if we failed, umount /mnt/source and keep going */
        if (rc) {
            umount("/mnt/source");
            ejectCdrom();
            wrongCDMessage();
        } else {
            gotcd1 = 1;
        }

as you can see, it is looking in the RedHat folder so the test
will always fail, you need to patch this file and rebuild the loader.
