Fantastic post - thanks for all that detail. I will try this myself on next
build.
I'm a bit concerned about the BSOD you mention - I presume that booting into
safe mode requires manual intervention?

There are 3 methods for Bashrat's driverpacks.
1 and 3 use the uber-long OemPnPDriversPath which breaks with the 16bit
winnt.exe
However, there is method 2, which unpacks the drivers from the .7z files after
the 16bit installer stage.
Here's how you do it with unattended.
o Create a method 2 patched version of winxp (this integrates the mass storage
drivers so you don't have to fuss with textmode stuff yourself). Enable ktd
(since this install will look in c:\d for the unpacked versions of the
drivers if you change hardware)
o copy the windows installation directory to your unattended os directory
cd /path/to/unattended/install/tools/
./lower-caseify.pl /path/to/unattended/install/os/winxpsp2
cd /path/to/unattended/install/os/winxpsp2/i386
ln -s ../\$oem\$ \$oem\$
cd \$oem\$/\$1
ln -s ../../oem
cd d
ln -s setupcopyoeminf.exe scoeminf.exe
ln -s watchdriversigningpolicy.exe dspolicy.exe
sed -e 's/SetupCopyOEMInf.exe/scoeminf.exe/g' \
-e 's/WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe/dspolicy.exe/g' \
-e 's/SetDevicePath.exe/setdpath.exe/g' \
< bts_dps_finish.cmd > bdfinish.cmd
unix2dos bdfinish.cmd
chmod 644 bdfinish.cmd
cd ../../../../i386
sed -e 's/WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe/dspolicy.exe/g' \
-e 's/SetDevicePath.exe/setdpath.exe/g' \
-e 's/DriverPack_/DP_/g' \
-i presetup.cmd
cd ../oem
mv *_chipset*.7z DP_chp.7z
mv *_cpu*.7z DP_cpu.7z
mv *_graphics_a*.7z DP_g_a.7z
mv *_graphics_b*.7z DP_g_b.7z

ln -s watchdriversigningpolicy.exe dspolicy.exe
UNATTEND.TXT:
[Data]
MsDosInitiated = "0"
[Unattended]
OemPreinstall = "Yes"
[GuiRunOnce]
; Command which runs after OS installation finishes
Command0 = "%SystemDrive%\D\bdfinish.cmd"
Command1 = "C:\netinst\mapznrun.bat C:\netinst\postinst.bat"
the symlinks are because the dos installer can't read beyond 8.3 filenames
ditto for renaming the .7z and .exe files
you can rename instead of using symlinks if you like.
There is a bug that causes a bsod loop the first time the machine boots after
graphics setup mode (or maybe before - can't remember exactly. It happened on
nforce and v20z platforms for me). If someone knows how to disable the winxp
bsod instant auto-reboot functionality via unattend.txt so i can see the stop
code I'd be interested). Anyway, just boot into safe mode and windows will
detect and load some driver then ask to reboot. It should be fine from there
on.
