It's been a couple of years since I've played with this, and my memory 
is fuzzy, but this is what I can dredge up; sorry if any of it is 
misremembered:

The virtual media plugin gives you a path to move stuff to the DRAC, 
albeit in a block-oriented way. This is not needed with the NFS path and 
a root shell, but it was when I was working from the restricted busybox 
user shell.

The firmware image has a CRAMFS at some offset. You can dd this off and 
unpack it to get the firmware contents. Again, not as necessary with a 
source release.

This site used to host a bunch of MIPS/Linux binaries which would run on 
the DRAC, though I'm not sure where they've gone to.

There appear to be more resources these days. This looks promising:
