nodiaque Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hello everyone!I have a little problem right now. I have to make a boot disk that can boot over network. Now I've seen many way to create bootable cd or floppy but my problem reside in the space I have to put drivers. I need more then 2.8 megs for my drivers because my cd will boot more then 10 differents NIC. So I'm looking for a way to be able to load those driver (the only way I know is in config.sys using device=).The other problem I have regarding this is if there's a way to make it choose the right driver for the card.Thanks!

submix8c Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Using Nero, you can emulate Hard Disk for a Bootable CD. Most Burning softwares contain that option. Read the Help for your flavor.The other way is to load the Device Driver from Autoexec.Bat (a special utility is required; can't remember the name, so GOOGLE). In it, you would "find" the CD drive (in conjunction with CONFIG.SYS) and load them from the CD itself. An example can be found in soporific's UBCD (get the 98_Boot.img file, unzip the ZIP and open/extract with WinImage).As for automatically selecting the correct NIC driver, I'm not sure that can be done, but you can use CHOICE and select the one for the specific NIC at the workstation. The setup as far as IP (etc.) is up to you.HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
