Vaibhav,
The following are just suggestions. I'm not sure whether they will
correct your problems, but they won't hurt to try.
First, make your RedHat directory '/disk3/users/goel/RedHat'. I thought
I read somewhere that NFS and FTP installations look for a subdirectory
called 'RedHat'. Also, check your file permissions under the
'instimage' subdirectory to make sure they match the file permissions at
the RedHat FTP site, especially the 'bin' and 'lib' subdirectories.
File permissions solved one of the problems I had with a NFS
installation.
Hope this helps!
