Driver Disk

Red Hat allows for 'driver disks' to be loaded during an install in case there is no out-of-the-box driver support for a specific piece of hardware. Basically, a driver disk is an ext2 disk image which can be created in the following steps:

Create Driver Disk

# Create a blank, 20MB image
dd if=/dev/zero of=driverdisk.img bs=1M count=20

# Format the image with ext2
mkfs -t ext2 -q driverdisk.img

# mount it and copy the files over
mount -o loop driverdisk.img /mnt/driverdisk

# copy drivers to /mnt/driverdisk, then run
umount /mnt/tmp

Once you have the driver disk created, you will need to tell the installer to load it by booting into linux expert or linux dd from the boot loader.
