The installer looks for a directory "RedHat" on the specified device,
which must contain another directory "RPMS" which in turn must contain
all the RPM files. It seems this wasn't the case for you.

I've just had a look at the guide - there's an error in step 49 if using
raFS; rafsln creates /hd/RPMS, not /hd/RedHat/RPMS. The correct rafsln
command should read:
rafsln -s /adfs/ARMLinux/!RPMS RedHat
It should have worked with the Zip file, though. :-/
You can check whether everything is where it should be at the end of
step 49, just before the umount's:
ls /hd (should output "RedHat")
ls /hd/RedHat (should output "RPMS")
ls /hd/RedHat/RPMS (should output all the RPM filenames)
In case something is wrong, use the command "mv <object> <destination
dir>" to move files or directories.
Don't give up! Installation is the hardest part. ;-)
