Can anyone point towards a method to produce a RedHat4.2 style bootdisk
that will have support for an SMC EtherPower II (epic100 chipset)
network card, so as to allow NFS install?

I guess my question is, is it possible to create a new initrd.img that
contains the epic100.o module, but also modify the startup scripts on
the boot disk so that it recognises that epic100 is a valid choice for
NFS network card installing? (If so, where is this startup script held,
and how do I modify it?)

Is this difficult? And if possible, how exactly do I go about creating
the initrd.img file (what modules do I need), And how should I compile
the kernel (what has to be statically compiled into the vmlinuz?) for
the boot disk.

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me.
