I learned that out of one of the RH9  documents. Basically, you need the
directory isolinux from the 1st cd, and some additional options to
mkisofs and you can make your own boot.iso
And if you include a ks.cfg, you can boot your kickstart install using
'linux ks=cdrom' 
(or better yet, modify the files in your isolinux copy to set that as
the default, you can do that in isolinux.cfg)
