RIS client NIC drivers

[JWest]

I am trying to connect to our RIS server with a Dell GX260
an pull down an image. The BINL portion works and the
DHCP & RIS server is being located. I am presented with
the Menu of images from which to choose. Once I've made
the choice and it is time for the file transfer I am
presented with a message stating, "The operating system
image you select does not contain the necessary drivers
for your network adapter. Try selecting a different
operating system image". The unit has a PXE enabled NIC
onboard and is set to boot from the NIC. I have the GX260
drivers loaded on the server, but I may not have them
where they should be located. So the question is where
does the installation look for the drivers? Should I show
a path to that location in the unattended file? And is it
the real mode drivers it needs or the entire compliment?
I look forward to any help available.

Depends on whether you are using a CD image or a risetup image. See:
