I deal with this by copying over a script that does this stuff to /tmp,
then echo "/tmp/firstboot.sh" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local  The last couple of
lines in firstboot.sh remove that line from rc.local and reboot the
machine.

It is a little messy, but it works, and I have the RPM db and such
available to me because the system is actually running from the
installed OS.
