    Gilly -- I've given up on trying to inject the drivers into the SRD so I take a brute strength an ignorance approach.  I copy the entire contents of the SRD to a local folder on my workstation.  I then copy the drivers to a subfolder (can be named anything descriptive) under the DDB folder.  Make sure to include the entire installation package -- extract from archive if necessary.  Then when asked for the location of the SRD during the custom build process, I select the local folder I copied the SRD to.  Sometimes the recovery environment finds the new drivers without issue.  Other times I have to browse to the CD to load the driver.  Either way, it is better than having to remember to mount an external drive where the drivers are stored.

    You could also try the Vista drivers if available.  Vista and Server 2008 are the same code base so the drivers are supposed to same.  This might change as the separate products mature.
