Generic Image for Remote boot

[Guest]

I’ve read a number of different posts about building a single image that will
support more than one set of hardware, I just wanted to check that my
thinking was correct, but basically is it a case of building an image without
using TAP and importing only generic components? I tried to import two
different pmq files to see what that would do and neither of the target
devices could even run through the FBA, much less have a sealed image that
would support them both.

If I have to build a completely generic image is there somewhere I can
reference to ensure I’ve covered all the options? Or do I just keep adding
hardware drivers until it works? I’d rather not do the second as it will be
time consuming and I’d imagine fairly unreliable.

Cheers.

Hi Rob,

You can add some of macro components like "Minlogon macro". It will add you all required components that you need to boot to XPe
without TAP.
Adding everything else is up to you.

Please read this long thread you will find probably all info that you will need here:

I've read that thread before, i think perhaps i got a bit lost somewhere.
Thanks for the minlogon tip.

Rob,

I was wondering what errors you saw when you ran your "generic" image through FBA on some of the targets?
Sometimes it may be easier to fix the problems than to start creating the image from scratch again.

Also, make sure your targets are the same HAL based. It is going to be much more complicated (sometimes too hard or impossible) to
create an image that supports several HALs.
