mkdir /tmp/rhdd
cd /tmp/rhdd
cp /vol/isos/redhat/RHEL5u2/rhel-5.2-server-x86_64-dvd.iso .
cp /vol/builds/releases/2.2.0/release/drivers/linux/redhat/xsigo-boot-2.6.18-92.el5-2.2.0-x86_64.tar .
tar xf xsigo-boot-2.6.18-92.el5-2.2.0-x86_64.tar
mkdir mnt
mount rhel-5.2-server-x86_64-dvd.iso mnt/ -o loop
mkdir rhel5
rsync -av mnt/ rhel5/.
umount mnt/
rmdir mnt/
./xg-insert-dd xsigo-rhdd-2.6.18-92.el5-2.2.0-x86_64.img rhel5/isolinux/initrd.img -iscsiboot=xsigo-iscsiboot.tgz
mv rhel5/isolinux/xsigo-initrd.img rhel5/isolinux/initrd.img
cd rhel5/
mkisofs -o ../rhel-5.2-server-custom-x86_64-dvd.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -m TRANS.TBL .
cd ..
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/implantisomd5 rhel-5.2-server-custom-x86_64-dvd.iso

Insert blank dvd into burner:

cdrecord dev= "/dev/cdrom-sr0" gracetime=2 fs=4096k driveropts=burnfree -v -useinfo speed=48 -dao -eject -pad -data ./rhel-5.2-server-custom-x86_64-dvd.iso

NOTE: your dev line and speed will be different on your system. Also note that during install, some USB DVD burners have compatibility issues where you may be prompted to insert the distribution media into the drive even though it already is in the drive.
