unattended from CD/DVD works...

hi,

first of all it works and it should be not far away to work for all. The
main thing I'm working on is the master script.  I'm not sure how to include
the cd/dvd stuff. Ideas are very welcome!

What I have done: (Files are attached)
- isolinux.cfg, f1.txt, f2.txt
  boots by default local system
  includes some startscreen

- following files included in initrd image
   isofs.ko, udf.ko
   /bin/make-blkdev-nodes (from linuxaux)
   drivers/ide/*, drivers/cdrom/* (from linuxaux)

- mapcdrom.vbs (new file)
  included in /bin
  (vbscript :( it uses Drive-Parameter to find cdrom)

- mapznrun.bat
   notices if z_path=dvd and calls mapcdrom.vbs

- install.pl
   about line 1211: copy mapcdrom.vbs to C:\netinstall

- master script
  For now it checks if the boot-parameter z_path is given and equal to
"dvd". If so no network is loaded and no option to change the z-variables
are shown. My ide-modules and cdrom-modules are loaded, a device node is
created and the cdrom is mounted to /z.

Can somebody please tell me how I can overwrite the links in the initrd
image with the real files? I've tried "find bin -print | cpio -o -A -O
initrd -H newc" to overwrite the link for "make-blkdev-nodes". The file is
included but not used! Can I remove the links or overwrite them? Then I can
use modprobe...

master script?
First way I think about: Include a boolean representing if cd/dvd should be
used. Then check the boolean every time...
Second: We load the mass storage modules very early
third...?

Autodetecting CDROM and scsi-support are still missing.
