The dd can be loaded via http, even easier than usb...
Use a kickstart, `driverdisk --source=http://path/to/dd.img`
Something like that is prolly avail from the grub boot menu, see the manual.

Yes, the entire install will be done from a box using this controller and 10 
SATA HDDs. Probably will load a mirror from two disks partitions to have some 
fault tolerance them do the rest of my partitions using LVM. Just having a 
difficult time loading the LSi driver from the loading process. I wish this can 
be done from a USB stick since the machine does not have a floppy.

Are you installing CentOS to boot off this controller, yes or no?

Download the driver, you get a dd disk for new installs when your root boots 
off the controller
and an rpm can you use after, and or if the controller is not backing your root.
