Hi,
currently it is not possible to add a scsi driver while installing ros. It is possible to install ros on a scsi disk with a modified install cd. Ros can use the NT 4.0 drivers from a scsi controller. You must do the following steps:
Hello,
I guess you mean the "Press F6 for SCSI/RAID driver disks" message Windows gives? What I was asking is: is the infrastructure there for installing on SCSI? From your message I can conclude: YES, IF the driver is integrated into the ReactOS disk.
The VMware driver I pointed to is opensource (GPL), so you could add it to ReactOS as a basic driver, so you can demonstrate that ReactOS can install on SCSI harddisk. And it makes testing and/or using ReactOS in VMware a lot easier. The trick question: is it harmful if this driver gets loaded but there's no hardware for it present? Does the driver auto-fail without causing any BSOD/hangups, and will ReactOS continue?
thanks for the reply, though I think out-of-the-box support for several emulators and their hardware is important to demonstrate ReactOS to a larger public ("hey, this operating system you're showing to me has networking and 1024x768-32bit advanced video driver support! wow, I'm impressed!")
I didn't know drivers were at NT4 level, thought ReactOS required 2000/XP drivers. good luck with the project.
