There is an update disk that should fix this. Download it, gzip it, dd (or rawrite) it to a floppy disk. When you boot into the install, specify "linux updates" at the boot prompt. The install will prompt you to install this floppy when it needs it. ftp://people.redhat.com/ewt/mountupd.img.gz It should fix this problem. Please reopen this bug if it doesn't.
The file to correct the problem is a little bit too large to fit on a 1.4M floppy. My 1.4M floppy formats out to 1,457,664 bytes and that correction file is 1,474,560 bytes.
