That's good news...thanks for the info ...
When working with txtsetup.sif (and I strongly suggest you do that
instead of oempnpdriverspath when dealing with masstorage device
drivers) you dont create a textmode folder...
The below steps should be enough:
Copy the viasraid.sys to the
RemoteInstall\Setup\Eng\Images\MyHappyServer\i386\System32\Drivers
folder.
Modify the
RemoteInstall\Setup\Eng\Images\MyHappyServer\i386\txtsetup.sif file.
[SourceDisksFiles]
viasraid.sys = 1,,,,,,_x,4,1
[HardwareIdsDatabase]
PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3149 = "viasraid"
[SCSI.Load]
viasraid = viasraid.sys,4
[SCSI]
viasraid = "VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller"
Make sure the PNPID matches your hardware, use devcon or device
manager (in detailed mode) to find out...Otherwise you have to change
the txtsetup.sif
Just add antoher line in the [HardwareIdsDatabase] section (also make
sure that the txtsetup.sif doesnt contain other drivers referencing
that pnpid)

If the viasraid driver set has additional inf and dll files, put the
*.inf files in i386\Inf and the *.dll files in i386\System32

Thanks Johan,
Actually I've already read the article - did you know that if you google
for "ris" "mass-storage", your page comes in third, right after MS KB
articles?
My case is RIS installation with VIASRAID. I've followed instructions
carefully, but unfortunately haven't been unable to get it work.
The setup *very slow* and ends in ~"error in txtsetup.oem" message. That
might have something to do with paths not pointing correctly to drivers
files.
Actually I'm bit confused about drivers location in TEXTMODE folder and
location of the TEXTMODE folder itself:
- Do the *.inf, *.sys, *.cat and TXTSETUP.OEM files have to be on same
level? The driver disk has subfolders for different platforms, but I assume
this is taken care in the TXTSETUP.OEM.
- If the TEXTMODE driver folder has subfolders, is it necessary to put paths
before filenames in [OEMBootFiles] section of the .sif file? (like
winxp\somedriver.inf)
- I've read all the articles I could find on the subject, some say that the
path for the TEXTMODE files should be placed under i386 (in my case,
X:\RemoteInstall\Setup\Finnish\Images\winxp\i386\$OEM$\TEXTMODE\somedriver.i
nf)
Some, like the instructions for adaptec on your page, say that it should go
under the $OEM$ on same level as the i386 (in my case,
X:\RemoteInstall\Setup\Finnish\Images\winxp\$OEM$\TEXTMODE\somedriver.inf)
After many frustrating attempts I've placed TEXTMODE drivers to all possible
locations, but still no luck.
Right now I'm about to give up hope and dig up the cd's... I'm trying it for
the last time tonight - if you know what I'm doing wrong please let me know,
you'll save me from a long late night at the office!
Sorry about the long (and whining) post,
Jussi

We have a pile of machines to install, and RIS would help a lot.
Trouble is that in most cases OEM drivers are needed.
There's KB on NIC drivers, but how to use mass-storage drivers? Can't add
them with F6.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance,
Jussi
