Awesome, thanks Paul. I think I'll give PXE boot a shot and setup the TFTP
stuff on DHCP server end - if no luck there, I guess im screwed. lol
If I get far enough, I'll see if I can get that Bluetooth and display driver
functional - although, you may be able to drop the dlls and ini files into
"\install\os\WinXP-SP2\$OEM$\$1\drivers\" and update the unattend.txt
OEMdriverpath clause to include "\drivers\;" as a value. That might work -
also, be sure to remove the winnt.sif from the i386 folder.

Subject: Re: [Unattended] Booting ETH adapters on Latitude D630
Hi,
I've had no problem booting using the boot disk from unattended-gui 0.5.1 on
a dell d630 (I'm using PXE however)
Hope this is somewhat helpful as to what does work on a d630.
As for installing Xp on a d630 - I had all sorts of issues with the SATA
operation in the bios set to ATA or UHCI.
I could only boot linux in UHCI mode - and only install XP in ATA mode.
The solution was to use UHCI and to use driver packs from
http://driverpacks.net/ and slipstream the mass storage drivers using the
text mode option.
Unfortunately I still can't get an unattended installation to successfully
work with the bluetooth 360 module or the display drivers ..
Regards
Paul Kelly

You can try a linux live-cd first to see if it can find and use the NIC
Any Live-cd with an recent kernel will do, Knoppix maybe..
Ubuntu, mephis or .. :-)
