Arlin,

You can remotely boot from your sdi image and at the run time (running the
remotely booted image) you can
1) prepare the HDD (partition with diskpart or etc., format)
2) copy over network an image (could be the same sdi file, or just xcopy the
image files)
3) if it is sdi, use sdimgr or sdi2hd tools to expand the sdi file to the
HDD
4) setup boot.ini on the HDD
5) reboot in to OS image from HDD (hopefully you can setup BIOS priorities
to boot from HDD first and then from LAN)

from the hard disk. The size of final.sdi is about 200M.
