Any specefic reason for installing RedHat 9? That's because its a very old distro. You can try Fedora Core 5 (or Fedora Core 6, which is coming out tomorrow). Or, as my personal suggestion, try Ubuntu.

Anyway, you have to make a filesystem which linux supports. I have never installed Red Hat 9, so dunno how the installer is, but it should prompt you to make an ext3 file system on the free space and mount it as '/'.
