You're using the basic MSClient redirector - I need the full one for domain
logons which needs more RAM. I also use a UK keyboard driver since people
use symbols in their domain passwords. This is enough to swing the balance
unfortunately...

I believe you need both, because UNDI is built on PXE.
However, my unattended installation system uses exactly this approach
(pxelinux + memdisk + MSCLIENT + winnt.exe), and it works fine. It supports
both 2k and XP installs:

If nothing else, you can try comparing my boot disk to your own. (Or see if
mine works for you; if not, I would like to hear about it.)
