Yes, I was expecting to find rawrite.exe there also.  Kind of surprised 
not to find it.  I ended up searching on the web and found rawritewin 
which ended up working and I was able to create a drvnet disk. 

Still, it's kind of odd that winimage didn't work.  First time that I can 
remember it not working on a redhat derivative boot image.
