Debugging Windows Remote Installation Services (RIS) can be
|
|
problematic. Here are some assorted notes on the process:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Getting hold of the files
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Add/Remove Windows Components -> Remote Installation Services
|
|
|
|
Files will be placed in \windows\system32\reminst. Copy them out to a
|
|
TFTP server. Configure DHCP to hand out startrom.com.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Getting past the "Press F12" message
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
Passing F12 through to the guest machine is difficult. It's easier to
|
|
patch the startrom.com binary to accept a different key. Open
|
|
startrom.com in a hex editor, search for the hex string
|
|
6681fb00860000, and replace it with 6681fb66210000. startrom.com will
|
|
now accept the "F" key instead of "F12".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DHCP filename
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Must use Windows backslash separator e.g. 'filename
|
|
"OSChooser\\i386\\startrom.com";', otherwise startrom.com fails to
|
|
correctly identify the path to NTLDR.
