I installed W2K Server on system with IWill KK266 with AMI megaIDE raid controller and it functions with no problems. I am trying to get the Recovery Console to work. When it boots it does not find any disks due to not having megaide.sys loaded. Is there a way to cause RC to look for this driver>

Did you follow Win2k 'readme' instructions for adding a external storage driver -- i.e., Pressing F5 (or was it F6) when first installing Win2k, it then prompts for the external driver diskette???

If not, then that is what you need to do.
I've installed several instances of Win2k both Pro and Server with external IDE cards, and have not had any problem with Recovery Console at all.

I had to do that when first installing W2K in order to us the raid as the boot device. However, RC does not recognize the raid driver when I attempt to start it from the boot.ini selection. The needs to be some method for introducing the raid driver into RC.
