| Essentially, only NIC cards specified by Microsoft as RIS compatible will work. The NIC in question has to have the capacity to boot from it's own internal ROM, obtain an address from DHCP and download an image of the O/S from the RIS server.
If the NIC does not have this capacity, you can boot from floppy disk generated by the RBFG program. This program is also limited in the number of NIC's that it is compatible with.
I have added drivers to the old NT 4.0 Network Client bootdisks, but have never modified the RBFG boot disk in this matter. You could in theory make an NT 4.0 MSDOS Network Client bootdisk and create a batch file that could copy the Windows 2000 file to the harddrive and initiate setup. That would be the only other option, if in fact your NIC does not fit in either of the two catagories above. | |
