Dave,

I guess startrom only knows "ntldr" file name. It downloads the loader from TFTP server. On the server there should be ntldr under
"\Program Files\Windows Embedded\Remote Boot Service\Downloads\" directory (or whatever is specified in the
[HKLM_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TFTPD\Parameters]"Directory" reg value).
I am talking about MS TFTP, of course.

Yup, that is the right step.

TFTP code (unsecure) should be independent from the PXE server (RBS). I still think it is doable what you want to accomplish.
Again, try Netmon or Ethereal to see the traffic (if you are on an isonet that should show you pretty clear picture of what's gooing
on).

Check out www.xpefiles.com for componentized touchscreen drivers that are not in the XPe Repository.
