[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.
