I'm not doing this for a live CD but I presume in such a case it'd be possible to copy the etc/ files in RAM (mounted as etc/ in RAM) and then do the modification. Things is, is to get all possibilities for grepping /proc/pci and to match them to the proper drivers in order to make it kind of 'universal'.
