using "/SDIBOOT=" as Mapping Boot Option

[Guest]

hi,
in the whole internet i found only one line regarding "/SDIBOOT=" which is:
"Used in Windows XP Embedded systems to have Windows boot from a RAM disk
image stored in the specified System Disk Image (SDI) file."

i want to know how to use this option inside boot.ini and what's the use of
it since we are able to specify the sdi image path using the ARC format?

the actual problem is the following:
i want to execute certain binary file (which is available outside the sdi
image or inside it "it doesn't matter for me") directly after the NTLDR "nt
loader" loaded the sdi image to the RAM and before start executing the
windows inside the image.

in other words, i want the NTLDR to give me control directly after loading
the sdi image and before executing the windows inside the image then after my
binary code finish i want the NTLDR to continue its job normally.

please, give me clear and detaild answer as me question was very clear.

best regards,

Do you want something like this?

[on one line]

/rdpath=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\usb-image.sdi /
rdimageoffset=4096 /run=YourBinFile.bin

?!?

I personnaly never used the /SDIBOOT= option since I think it's
useless.
