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".
