You would want the modules added into your initrd file in the /boot directory. Do a "man mkinitrd" to see the manual on how to add modules. Basically you would add the desired modules into /etc/modules.conf and rebuild initrd-2.4.9-31.img with a different name (just in case it hosed something) then add the new initrd entry into a brand new entry in your /etc/lilo.conf or /etc/grub.conf. Reboot and use lsmod to see if the modules were loaded.

I was wondering if anyone would know of a way to boot Redhat Linux 7.2
from a USB disk drive off of a floppy drive.

The problem I'm having is the USB drivers aren't loaded until after the
bootstrap.

Would anyone know the steps and files needed to create a boot image to
place
on a floppy drive for me to use?
