I couldn't find it written down.  I learned it empirically.

To be honest, I don't know, because I always sign both the SYS and the
CAT.  In previous systems, one or the other had to be signed in order to
pass 64-bit KMCS, but you had to sign the CAT file in order to change
the "unsigned driver" warning to the "do you trust this publisher"
warning.  Thus, there has always been a rather strong incentive to sign
the CAT file, assuming you shipped one.
