Sorry, I forgot to mention about nt5x-install in my previous posts.
The good news is you don't need to to build another custom initrd :-)
So what you have to do:
1. copy file <unattended>/linuxboot/misc/nt5x-install as
<unattended>/install/site/nt5x-install and patch this last one.
2. Then update site/config.pl to ask to use this new file:
config.pl:$u->{'_meta'}->{'ntinstall_cmd'} = '/z/site/nt5x-install' ;
An why copy it into install/site/ ? Well, since this driver(s) search
mechanism is not integrated into unattended project, a good idea will be
to avoid modifying the unattended source(s).
Here I use the <unattended>/install/site/ directory for all my specific
stuff, hence the instructions below.
