[finnix] Need module

I'm running the x86 version of Finnix 93.  I need the imm module.  The config
file shows that it was compiled, but it is not in the distribution.  I tried
using m-a, but it is not on the updated list.

I downloaded the kernel deb and got the module.  Unfortunately, it has not
solved my problem.

The laptop I'm using has no cdrom and will not boot from a usb device.  I am
temporarily using a usb cd-writer from another machine and using loadlin to
boot.  I need to be able to boot from a 250M zip disk. 

The module works once Finnix has booted, i.e. I can now mount the zip disk.
I have not remastered minirt, so I boot without the cd-writer and wait until
I'm left with a shell.  At this point, I install imm.ko and parport.ko.  Since
I cannot run depmod from the shell, I edited the modules.dep in minirt.  At
this point modprobe installs the two modules.  The new problem is that modprobe
does not find the zip disk, and I cannot mount it.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
