How to use F6 for Mass Storage Drivers for Unattended Installs

[Guest]

I know how to slipstream mass storage drivers in an unattended install,
however I am in a situation where I am making an unattended build for a bunch
of machines and all have different ultra 133 cards. I would like the option
to press F6 and insert the floppy disk. When I press F6 during an unattended
install after installing the mass storage drivers the system does its first
file copy and reboots as normal, on the next boot it errors out that it can
not find the mass storage drivers needed and bombs out.

How can you successfully use F6 to install mass storage drivers during an
unattended setup?

To my knowledge, you cannot; it just doesn't work.

However, you can include multiple mass storage drivers under
$oem$\textmode. This requires merging the txtsetup.oem files for each
driver, but it is not too hard.

My system (http://unattended.sourceforge.net/) scans $oem$\textmode
and parses txtsetup.oem to offer you a menu of mass storage drivers to
include. Then it generates the [OEMBootFiles] and
[MassStorageDrivers] sections of unattend.txt according to your
answer.

But you still have to merge the txtsetup.oem files by hand.
