You had the same idea I did. Unfortunately, I'm getting errors.

I'm stuck here.
How do I "replace the driver on the boot floppy with your shiny new module"?
The boot floppy doesn't have any mylex drivers--they are on the CDROM.
RedHat uses driver diskettes to load additional drivers--unfortunately they
only have ICP Vortex drivers and no mylex drivers.
No problem, I'll just make my own driver diskette. So I make the gdth disk,
then modify it for the mylex. But the driver is in modules.cgz format.
What is .cgz? So I guess by just gzipping the DAC960.o file and renaming it
to modules.cgz (overwriting the old modules.cgz). And after putting a few
things in modinfo and pcitable, the driver disk doesnt' work. When I get to
"inserting DAC960.o", it says something like "error: header read Success".
What I really need to know is how to create a driver diskette.
Thanks for any help.
