Good day Aldrich, Since there's no relationship between BIOS INT 13h drive numbers and drives that Windows finds, how do you propose to pass a virtual optical disc drive (ODD) to Windows?
For the HDD case, we already pass an iBFT (for iSCSI) or an aBFT (for AoE). I would suggest that you either need additional data associated with those tables to specify ODD as the drive-type, or your initiator could probe the SAN and look for El Torito ISO9660 structure in order to dynamically determine that the SAN is an ODD. In regards to loading all of this during setup: For Windows XP/2003 you'll likely run into some challenges, as Andrew mentioned. Have you already found a way to use your F6-extra-drivers-floppy-disk to load networking for the network card along with your initiator? - Shao Miller _______________________________________________ gPXE mailing list [email protected] http://etherboot.org/mailman/listinfo/gpxe
