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". + + |
