Additionally, the sample install_win.sh script for Microsoft® Windows® performs preinstallation tasks,
including:
•
Creating a 2 GiB FAT16 primary partition
•
Formatting the partition for the FAT file system
•
Creating a boot sector for the partition
•
Copying the FreeDOS operating system to the new C drive
•
Copying the Windows® installation sources, the $oem$ directory, and unattend.txt files to the C
drive
To use the install_win.sh sample script to install Microsoft® Windows® and install_w2k8.sh sample script
to install Windows Server® 2008:
1.
Create an unattend.txt file by following the instructions in the Microsoft® documentation
. A sample unattend.txt file is included in the
windows_unattend directory.
2.
Copy the Windows® source files to the installation source. In this sample script, the installation
source is a NFS file share.
3.
Adapt the script to perform the correct hardware configuration, and change the NFS server IP
address and path to match your environment.
4.
Update the syslinux configuration file (pxelinux.cfg, isolinux.cfg, or syslinux.cfg) to reference the
install_win.sh or install_w2k8.sh sample script.
