Subject: How to read a file from a device driver?

Can someone please tell me how I can read a file from a device driver
in FreeBSD?  I need to download 2 or 3 relatively-large code files to
my device, choosing from amongst several different files depending on
which mode I'm operating in.  Therefore compiling-in the code is not
a reasonable choice.

If you can either tell me how to be able to read a file from my driver,
or point me to an example driver which does this, I would appreciate it.

I'm running FreeBSD 3.4.
