Hello,

I'm trying to do a network boot using tftpd, bart network bootdisk,
standard windows xp i386 folder, and other utils. I have everything
set up all the way to where I'd pick the network driver on the target
machine, but the driver isn't showing. I downloaded the cab file from
http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/network/makedisk-old/#niclist (Broadcom
440x), but I have no clue how to inject the cab file into the ima
file. Could anyone please help, or show me alternatives to my issue?

I used winimage, and was able to inject the drivers into the ima file.
Another issue: my network driver isnt showing up on the menu, and I
have no clue how to edit the menu to show my network card. I've even
tried removing all of the drivers except the Broadcom 440x driver, and
I was still unable to choose from the menu. Where would I go from
there?

You are looking for \etc\_msnet.nic in bartdisk.IMA
You'll need to remove 1 of the nics in that file and replace it with your
own, otherwise it will not show up. (at least not on my setup).

Make sure you inject the b44.cab it into \lib\ndis\.
Then extract \etc\_msnet.nic, open it up in notepad, delete the last line
and replace it with:

B44 Broadcom 440x 10/100 Ethernet NDIS2 Driver v2.44 (030506)

After that inject the file back into bartdisk.IMA, overwriting the original
and then save the bartdisk.IMA

You should now be able to select your NIC in the bartdisk menu.
