Fun with Config.sys

[nadriel]

I'm working on this myself, but I thought it was worth checking to see if anyone else had any clues as to why I can't get it to work.

I'm trying to create a boot CD for Ghost, in order to re-image various computers (since we lost RIS on the server and got WDS instead, we can't PXE Boot to Ghost like we used to. Stupid Microsoft updates). Anyway, creating the boot CD is straightforward....up until I try and get the network drivers to function.

My config.sys reads as follows:

device=oakcdrom.sys /d:install
DEVICE=protman.dos
DEVICE=dis_pkt.dos
DEVICE=E1000.dos
lastdrive=z

My autoexec.bat is:

path=a:\;x:\
mouse.com
mscdex.exe /d:install /l:x /m:16 /v
netbind.com
ghost.exe

I have the following files on the CD, all in the root directory:

Autoexec.bat
Command.com
Config.sys
io.sys
mscdex.exe
msdos.sys
oakcdrom.sys
mouse.com
ghost.exe
protocol.ini
dis_pkt.dos
e1000.dos (I believe this is the correct file for the relevant network adapter)
netbind.com
protman.dos
protman.exe

It boots fine, and everything runs okay up to the point where it tries to load Protman.dos, where it comes up with the error: PRO0003E: file open failure.

And without Protman, the rest of the network driver files don't load.

So, any thoughts/tips?
