Description of problem and the rationale.

Anaconda needs to automatically (without passing command line options at boot)
look for kernel modules and load them. The drivers will be packaged in the new
redhat driver disk format.
Dell suggests that this could be done in the loader, just after loading the
driver disks in the usual method (linux dd).

Code in RHEL 5.3 anaconda which searches for drivers on discovered media having a file system label OEMDRV needs to be forward-ported to Fedora rawhide.
