I have a SGI workstation, and have Windows NT 4.0 installed. I am going to create a boot disk, I couldn't find boot.ini file. I know the RISC-base machine is different from Intel-base machine, but I can not find any instruction for creating a boot disk for RISC-base machine. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

I hope this helps The process for creating a boot disk for RISC systems is to copy the following files from the current working system partition or from the Windows NT installation CD-ROM's \ALPHA directory to the root of a DOS or Windows NT-formatted floppy disk: . Osloader.exe <--- This needs to be expanded if copied from CD: IE: expand osloader.ex_ a:\osloader.exe . Hal.dll <--- This is machine specific - see chart below. . A221064.PAL . A221066.PAL . A221164.PAL . A321064.PAL Once these files are copied to a floppy disk, you can add a new boot option entry in the computer's NVRAM to point to the floppy disk instead of the hard disk drive's system partition.

Sorry I forgot to add the rest of the document. the Microsoft Technet article number is Q172806

Thanks, but my computer is SGI workstation, I should have emphasized it. It is so different from other machines, and its boot file is arcldr.exe, not osloader.exe, I am wondering if I can create a boot disk the same way as other RISC computers other RISC computers.
