I am trying to do a kickstart installation on HP Proliant servers. Unfortunately, they use Broadcom network cards that do not work natively with kickstart. How do you patch the kickstart disk to respond to a Broadcom card, or any other non-supported NIC?

The usual boot floppy wont do it for me either. However, in the latest
beta release of phoebe they include a new 'boot.iso' for burning to a
CD. _Very_ handy. The initrd image contained therein apparently
includes broadcom support as my broadcom NIC client boots off it and is
then able to do a ks=http:// install. If you are doing PXE then then
you probably want to pull this same image they use in boot.iso
From the 8.0.94 release notes:
o Also in the images/ directory is the boot.iso file. This file is an
ISO image that can be used to boot the Red Hat Linux installation
program. It is a handy way to start network-based installations
without having to use multiple diskettes. To use boot.iso, your
computer must be able to boot from its CD-ROM drive, and its BIOS
settings must be configured to do so. You must then burn boot.iso
onto
a recordable/rewriteable CD-ROM.
