It is a bug of Redhat 9, try a search in google with the words "install ftp
redhat 9" or "9-updates.img"
You will find there is a 9-updates.img. Use this image to create a new
floppy disk.
Boot with the first boot disk and U will see the console, type "linux
updates".
Then, it will prompt U to insert the new "9-updates.img" disk.
Insert the disk and U will success install the system.
