RE: How to load driver before any storage manager FSDs?

It is a catch 22... the hive needs to be loaded before any other drivers due
to the architecture, but to load the hive the file system driver needs to be
there prior.

Curious, what are you trying to accomplish that you need the stream driver
loaded first?

Hello,

I would like to load a (stream interface) driver before any other
storage manager FSD (file system driver) in boot phase 0. Thing is: I
have an FSD in boot phase 0 because of the hive based registry.

I tried to load the driver as early as possible like that:

; HIVE BOOT SECTION
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\earliestdriver]
"Prefix"="EAR"
"Dll"="earliestdriver.dll"
"Index"=dword:1
"Order"=dword:0
"Bootphase"=dword:0
; END HIVE BOOT SECTION

However, it is always loaded after the FSD. How can I load it
before???

Thanks,
Peter
