Okay let me try explain a bit.
The normal setup is like following
Bootmgr --> Boot\BCD --> Sources\boot.wim --> winpeshl.exe --> Startnet.cmd & setup.exe
patcher allows you to load an other BCD store, so you can define a new boot.wim ramdisk.
So create a new folder on your DVD or USB disk and call it
w2k8Copy the
boot.wim and install.wim from your 2k8 dvd in this new folder
With patcher load a bootmgr and select
\BOOT\BC1 and save it as
bootmgr1The new boot will be like this :
Bootmgr1 --> Boot\BC1 --> w2k8\boot.wim --> winpeshl.exe --> winpeshl.ini --> Startnet.cmd & MySetup.cmd
So copy the
boot\bcd from your dvd to
boot\bc1now use bcdedit.exe or the gui bcdtool.exe to change
device & osdevice to match your new boot.wim
also set the
nointegritychecks flag.
Mount this w2k8\boot.wim with (g)imagex (index 2) and inject a
winpeshl.ini with following contend:
[LaunchApps]
startnet.cmd
mysetup.cmd
Create a
mysetup.cmd (put it also
next to your new winpeshl.ini in the system32 folder of your mounted boot.wim)
for %%I in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%I:\w2k8\install.wim set DvDDrive=%%I:
\setup.exe /installfrom:%DVDdrive%\w2k8\install.wim
You can now load Bootmgr1 with grub or any other loader and it should start 2008 server setup
