SDI image ram boot.

[tzuktz]

Hello,

I'm trying to boot SDI image from a HD and a USB removeable device.

I made the SDI image acording to the Microsoft manual with a BOOT.INI
that looks like that:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=ramdisk(0)\windows
[operating systems]
ramdisk(0)\windows="default" /fastdetect
/rdpath=ramdisk.sdi /rdimageoffset=1000

Put on the BOOT and LOAD BLOBs.

put it all on my NTFS device.

and now i'm lost.
my questions are:

1. What is responsible for creating the RAMDISK and loading the
RAMDISK.SDI file into it.
2. What does the rdimageoffset switch in the boot.ini means and what
should I write into it. Now it is taken from the SDIMGR output.
3. What else should I put on the root file system of the removable
device (i.e. which NTLDR, BOOT.INI and NTDETECT.COM).
4. Is the above BOOT.INI correct.
5. is there a complete guide for the BOOT.INI options. I couldn't find
any with ALL the options.

Thanks,
Yuval

/rdimageoffset=1000 <------ (4096)
/rdpath=(some arc path)\ramdisk.sdi

1. ntldr.
2. by default 4096
3. this is enough
4. no
5. no, there are guides with most switched on third party sites.

Read thread from bellow similar question to yours.
