If you want to use Timothy's file, just rename to to oem.tgz. The actual file is http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/Custom ... -2-oem.tgz but I think it may be that IE (assuming you're using it) likes to save it as a tar file.

Merging the files is a bit of work. If you copy say the unified file to /bootbank/ and then want to add another, you would

1) copy and extract the /bootbank copy to /tmp
2) add any driver files from the other oem.tgz file
3) update simple.map / pci.ids
4) tar it up and copy it back to /bootbank
