You could just add both binaries to the kernel binary, then let the CONFIG.SYS parser/init code load them if desired. This would only require a larger kernel file (and more sophisticated boot loading code to cope with >64 KiB) but no modifications of SHSUCDX and that El Torito driver. Why is the source code not available? If you'd really need it badly someone could disassemble it. BTW, the driver's size is 1.5 KiB with UPX compression, 4 KiB without.
