My goal is to insert a RAID driver right before install begins. Can somebody please point me in the right direction?
To reach that goal you could use the "DriverUpdate" boot parameter and make the driver available locally or via network. You do not need to create a CD.
That's what I want to do.

As I understand, I have to prepare a driver update medium of some form (be it a directory in the network) to make the "DriverUpdate" linuxrc parameter happen.
It's the newer version of the document you are referring to, http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Linuxrc, that refers to a description of the "driver update medium" format, http://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/hvogel/Update-Media-HOWTO/index.html.
This document is not maintained anymore, and I simply want to save myself the time preparing a "driver update medium" that nobody understands. From what I see in http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.3/, chances are high that things have changed substantially in the meantime.
So, can somebody please shed some light on this?
