I guess since I have never needed it before it's new to me :)
Wait can I do dd= before I put in ks ks= ?

You can use --driverdisk in a kickstart file, or dd= at the boot:
prompt.
This isn't a new option though, it's been there quite a while.

Hi All,
Thank you for the instructions. I was looking over the kickstart
documentation again and it looks like it has been updated with 4.0
release 3. I am going to attempt using what looks like a new option
called --driverdisk (with Dan's driver disk). Looks like I can
specify a
driver disk via ftp, http and nfs.
I will let you all know how it goes.
Thank you,
Ryan

A little bit in the wrong direction, yes.
I'll forward you the driver disk in a seperate email.
`dd if=3w-9xxx-4u3-amd64.144 of=/dev/fd0` Boot from the CD and use
"linux dd" to specify that there is a driver disk. You'll need a
floppy or USB key or something.
If you want to automate the package.
1) Download the anaconda source rpm
2) rpm2cpio anacond-src-foo-rpm | cpio -idmv
3) make
4) apply this patch
https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2005-November/
msg00018.html
5) cd loader2/ ; make loader
6-9) Unpack the initrd. Replace the old loader with the one you just
created. Put the driver disk in the initrd as /dd.img. Pack it back
up.
Then it's automatic. Or you could just put the driver disk on the
network I suppose but I don't recall the format for that...
regards,
dan carpenter
