(C) Unattended install Windows NT 4.0 use BayStack 21 PCI Adapter
==============================================================
Overview
The purpose of this file is to allow for the Manual installation of
Windows NT4.0 Workstation or Server with the Nortel BayStack 21 PCI Adapters.
Supported Adapters:
Nortel BayStack 21 10/100 PCI Ethernet Adapter
This software distribution has unattended files and sample scripts
for WindowsNT 4.0 Workstation and Server.
The sample Unattended script is:
WindowsNT 4.0 Workstation/Server = /UNATTEND.TXT
The WindowsNT 4.0 Workstation/Server script has been designed to install NT with
the following options: (your site could have different requirements)
· FileSystem ===> FAT
· Workgroup ===> WORKGROUP, ie not into a DOMAIN
· NT root directory ===> \WINNT40
· Networking protocols used ===> NetBEUI, IPX
· Networking protocols used ===> NetBEUI, IPX
Note : For best results with multiple machines it is recommended that you
use this file in conjunction with an UDF file to customize
options such "ComputerName" and "FullName".
Installation Steps:
1) Extract the Compress file.
2) Create a new Subdirectory structure on your Network Installation Server
within the WindowsNT distribution share point. The new directory structure
is shown in the Example below:
EXAMPLE: F:\WINNT\i386 - Distribution Share Point on Server
ADD: \$OEM$\NET\NORTEL - Directory Structure
The directory structure once completed should look like this:
EXAMPLE: F:\WINNT\I386\$OEM$\NET\NORTEL
3) Modify "UNATTEND.TXT" file.
Select Network Adapter type In "[SelectedAdaptersSection]" section.
EXAMPLE:
For "Nortel BayStack 21 10/100 PCI Ethernet Adapter"
[SelectedAdaptersSection]
BaySt21 = OEMAdapterParamSection, \$OEM$\NET\NORTEL
4) Copy the Nortel Drivers into the new NORTEL subdirectory:
EXAMPLE: UNATTEND.TXT
B21.HLP
B21ND410.SYS
OEMSETNT.INF
4) If you are using your own Unattend.txt file please take note of the
sections below. Please add these sections to your existing script
file:
[Unattended]
OemPreinstall = yes
[Network]
InstallAdapters = SelectedAdaptersSection
[SelectedAdaptersSection]
BaySt21 = OEMAdapterParamSection, \$OEM$\NET\NORTEL
[OEMAdapterParamSection]
Command line execution
Start NT installation with the following command line
{source}\winnt.exe /B /S:{source} /U:{source}\$OEM$\NET\NORTEL\UNATTEND.TXT.
Where {source} is the source drive and source directory on the distribution
software server. In this example the share point directory is called
F:\WINNT\I386.
This Example assumes that it is executed from within the I386 Directory.
EXAMPLE: WINNT /B /S:F:\WINNT\I386 /U:F:\WINNT\I386\$OEM$\NET\NORTEL\UNATTEND.TXT
