The bug may be RedHat's, but the install floppy should not
place files that are known to be buggy onto users' systems.
Some part of that big menu system should be changed so that the
"rootfiles" rpm never gets installed on user's systems, if that
is what the problem is. (Sorry to be so vague, but I really
have no idea where the installation/configuration menu comes
from, or how it is configured, or what its consequences are.)
