I have fixed unattend.pl for the next release, which I am planning to make in the next day or two.

Your on-board SCSI hardware almost certainly has a BIOS, and DOS will use that (INT13 interface, possibly with extensions for large disks). > Has anyone ever used this project to install machines with SCSI > adapters in them? Yes, I have :-). The SCSI disks I used were already supported by Windows, so I did not have to mess with all that Txtsetup.oem garbage. They worked fine from DOS without any special drivers. > It appears that DOS does not load any SCSI drivers when it boots > from the RAM disk.

You only need SCSI drivers to access SCSI CD-ROM drives from DOS; the hard disks are handled nicely by the BIOS. No release of Unattended accesses the CD-ROM at all, except during boot; we do everything from a floppy (real or virtual) and the network. I believe some people have modified Unattended to perform OS installation from CD, and they did have to add appropriate drivers. - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ unattended-info mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/unattended-info
