Well, RH 6.0 doesn't need a supplementary disk anymore, does it?
So, you should be all set with the bootnet floppy alone.
The bootloader should only use the BIOS, which in turn
should support the USB floppy.

As an alternative,
get loadlin, the kernel image, and the initrd image (both from
the "bootnet" floppy) on your harddisk.

I tried this once at Yodobashi. Well, not with the RH kernel/initrd,
but with a home-brewed combination. I used my digicam's CompactFlash
card to copy all the files. You should have seen the clerk's face ;)

Good luck!
