Sorry, misread the question. I guess you need to create a driver disk.
Google how to create them or check these links:
http://serverfault.com/questions/374870/how-to-build-a-driver-disk-for-an-anaconda-install-centos-6
http://www.ruizs.org/archives/49
And when booting you need something like linux dd=<url_to_driver.img>
