Hello,
I believe that in order to do a HTTP or FTP install you need to have the extracted isos -
however, I too had a problem while trying to FTP install from mounted iso images (disc1, disc2, disc3). Looking at the ftp logs showed that the install program (after succesfully loading stage2), right when searching for the first packet (glibc-common I believe) was trying to access a directory named /ftp/pub/mirrors/ftp.redhat.com/linux/beta/severn/en/disc1/disc1 (note the extra disc1).
Using the rh_extract_iso.sh script to extract all isos into one 'os' directory and restarting install worked though.

I am not familiar with the script you are speaking of but I did the copy by hand and it worked. I had been told that the iso network install worked with the NFS, FTP, and HTTP variants. It appears this was incorrect.
thanks,
