One note to all developers using this drivers. Working with a boot driver should be fine if the driver is fine. However, a developer might face the following issues with a bad driver (for example a driver that crashes on DriverEntry() ): 1) The 2008 machine will not boot if drivers are not signed. (connected to a kernel debugger or not). 2) kd files will not map our drivers at boot. 3) Bus driver has been started even if we were running in safe mode. All this problems can be avoided by turning the drivers to demand start (instead of boot start). See the attached registry file for an example of how to disable the boot loading. Thanks Tzachi

Subject: Patch to support boot disk
Hi,
In order to support boot from IB, we need to make all
the drivers to be boot driver. Also registry "StaticChild" should not be
changed after driver update if it's modified. Please review the patch.
Thanks,
James
