Looks OK. Here is the command used to build the Shrike disks:

mkisofs -A Red Hat Linux/i386 9 -V Red Hat Linux/i386 9 -J -R -v -T -x 
./lost+found -o 
/mnt/redhat/scratch/Shrike-re0313.GM.C3-sec-respin.RC1/i386/ftp-isos/Shrike-re0313.GM.C3-sec-respin.RC1-i386-disc1-ftp.iso 
- -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot 
- -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table .
