I don't know of any "official" documentation on driver disks for 
2.6-kernel based systems. All I can do is point you at the structure of 
a driver disk I made myself to use an Advansys SCSI controller.

See: 
http://listman.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2004-August/msg00051.html

Driver disks don't work on FC2 due to an anaconda bug but the structure 
shown in that post for FC2 works OK in FC3, albeit with the 2.6.9-1.667 
kernel that you already know about.
