Hi, i had Problems with the IBM Thinkpad R52 and R51 - i run unattended and then got the wellknown "NTLDR Missing" Failure.
Now i solved it (with the message from this thread, but can't find this thread anymore)... It is a bit of a workaround but he! it is working... and save me a lot of time: First you have to edit your master.pl ------------------------------------------------ --- master.org 2006-06-10 12:45:21.828736942 +0200 +++ master 2006-06-10 12:47:04.144845228 +0200 @@ -399,9 +399,15 @@ cp /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf /tmp echo \$_hdimage = \"/dev/dsk$active_part\" >> /tmp/dosemu.conf +[ -f /z/site/preinst.sh ] \ + && . /z/site/preinst.sh + # DOSEMU always exits non-zero. FIXME. dosemu.bin -f /tmp/dosemu.conf +[ -f /z/site/postinst.sh ] \ + && . /z/site/postinst.sh + sync reboot ------------------------------------------------ And then create a postinst.sh script inside the site folder: ----postinst.sh---- #FOR "NORMAL" USE if you have 255 HEADs but you don't have to use this because the linuxbootdisk #is working for "NORMAL" PCs #echo -e -n "\xff" |dd of=/dev/sda1 bs=1 seek=26 conv=notrunc #mkdir -p /mnt/drive #mount -t msdos /dev/dsk1 /mnt/drive #echo -e -n "\xff" |dd of=/mnt/drive/\$win_nt\$.~bt/bootsect.dat bs=1 seek=26 conv=notrunc #FOR IBM R52 AND R51 echo -e -n "\xf0" |dd of=/dev/sda1 bs=1 seek=26 conv=notrunc mkdir -p /mnt/drive mount -t msdos /dev/dsk1 /mnt/drive echo -e -n "\xf0" |dd of=/mnt/drive/\$win_nt\$.~bt/bootsect.dat bs=1 seek=26 conv=notrunc sleep 30 ------------------- Run unattended and have fun... I use unattended with a mysql database - so if i ever have more time, i will do a mysql based of the postinst.sh script. For now i manuel edit this file... To solve the problem the "right" way, i though a bartpe or a complete new linux bootdisk would be a good way. Also we have to find a way to add "Windows Vista Support".
