Script to rebuild bootdisk.img with different modules/kernel



I've written a script that will take the original Red Hat Linux 9
bootdisk.img, drvnet.img, and drvblock.img and add/remove modules in the
bootdisk.img.  This is useful for making single floppy kickstart disks.

Other stuff it can do:
- replace a module entry in the pcitable so that the installer will
  automatically pick a replacement module (I needed to replace sym53c8xx
  with sym53c8xx_2 for example).
- replace the kernel and modules with kernel/modules from a new
  kernel-BOOT RPM.

Anyway, I thought it might be useful for others, so have at it:

It is somewhat tested, but if it breaks, you get to keep all the pieces.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
