_all_ of it? Is that even possible? I haven't ever used redhat, but in my debian experience such an endeavor would results in 1.) packages conflicts (such as with multipled ftp daemons, news daemons, gdm/xdm, etc) 2.) a lot of "junk", for lack of a better term. 3.) potentially vulnerable services running that you are unaware of (rpc services, etc) If you actually do have a reason for needing everything installed, my suggestion would be to install the core components that you need, and once you have a booting system mount the other drives at arbitrary points (such as /usr/local and /usr/local2) and install the rest of the packages to those points.
