Hi,
there are only some little changes, I dont know the modifications in the
nt5 install script so you have to try it by yourself.
use:
mkfs.ntfs -f /dev/hdXX # to create a ntfs file system
ntfs-3g /dev/hdXX /c # to mount the ntfs drive to /c
If the active boot partition is ntfs you have to add the bootloader in
this way:
if [[ "${BOOTPART}" == "ntfs" ]]
then
dd if=/z/etc/binary/ntldr_boot_code_ntfs_1
of=/dev/dsk$BOOTNUMBER bs=1 count=426 seek=84 > $LOGTTY 2>&1
dd if=/z/etc/binary/ntldr_boot_code_ntfs_2
of=/dev/dsk$BOOTNUMBER bs=1 count=7680 seek=512 > $LOGTTY 2>&1
fi
You can exctract the bootcode from an existing XP Installation in this way:
dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/tmp/ntldr_boot_code_ntfs_1 bs=1 count=426 seek=84
dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/tmp/ntldr_boot_code_ntfs_2 bs=1 count=7680 seek=512
After copy the files to the ntfs partition, I will copy the setupldr to
/c/inldr and set this in the bootsect.dat:
if [[ "${BOOTPART}" == "ntfs" ]]
then
copy_files "$OS_DIR/i386/setupldr.bin" "/c/inldr" 3
"Copy setupldr.bin."
message_start "Creating bootsect.dat"
dd if=/dev/dsk$BOOTNUMBER
of=/c/\$win_nt\$.~bt/bootsect.dat bs=8192 count=1 > $LOGTTY 2>&1
#replace n.t.l.d.r with i.n.l.d.r
echo -e -n "\x49"| dd
of=/c/\$win_nt\$.~bt/bootsect.dat bs=1 seek=514 conv=notrunc > $LOGTTY 2>&1
echo -e -n "\x4e"| dd
of=/c/\$win_nt\$.~bt/bootsect.dat bs=1 seek=516 conv=notrunc > $LOGTTY 2>&1
message_end
fi
The rest is the same as with fat32.
The complete script will be in the unattended-gui svn repository after I
am ready with the vista/2008 installation.
