Search hard enough ;-)
more seriously , how on earth can foo.rpm be a directory?
think harder before you conclude it doesnt exist ;)
doing what atul said would have sufficed. as root , doing a "rpm -ivh
/mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/*FBDev*.rpm" would have worked fine.
do a "rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/XFree86-FBDev-3.3.5-3.i386.rpm"
as root , assuming your cd-rom is mounted on /mnt/cdrom.
