See an earlier post in this thread:

Basically you need to have the whole distribution (from CDs etc) on 
line, replace all the various kernel RPMS with the ones from centosplus 
downloads and add the xfsprogs (and jfsutils and reiserfs) RPMS to the 
CentOS/RPMS directory, install the anaconda-runtime RPM and run 
something like the script at http://centos.hughesjr.com/testing/build.sh.txt

Note: I only needed to rebuild the installer for doing NFS installs, so 
I stopped after the 'buildinstall' step - I also started at the first 
genhdlist step.
