driverdisk and include

[Shabazian, Chip]

That would be a problem.... sorry.

I've got the same problem busting open the pxeboot initrd.  The
instructions you have found work for the regular initrd from the
boot.iso image.  You will need to use the instructions Michael send
earlier from Koan and use cpio for the pxeboot initrd.
