Yikes -- whoever is adding the support really needs to be able to do
full builds.

Sure, see above, but you just need to, say, look at the
'resc1440-s.bin' targets, I guess, or similar. We shouldn't need a
separate drivers disk for this flavor, although it doesn't hurt.
You'll have to pick a kernel to go with I guess.
