Thanks for responding both Andrew and Maarten. Ok then, I was hoping that there was a way to say, regardless of what drives are installed in the pc, just load the drive that's hanging off Primary Master and leave the rest alone? This is basically what I want to do. I just didn't want to go through the pc's to find out exactly what type of drives are installed. Not to start an OS flame war but I can do this in Solaris using the keyword "bootdisk" in the jumpstart profile. Just wondering if there was something similar in ES4. Thank you again, for your time... Phil On September 18, 2007 13:28:28 Andrew Bacchi wrote: > You can't always use one size fits all. We have many kickstart files > for our many servers.
