This is a set of instructions that someone had posted to install CallManager on hardware other than their “certified” equipment for testing.

Step 1: Download a Windows utility called FDIMAGE.EXE. You can find this on pretty much any UNIX/ Linux site.

Step 2: Insert the CallManager Hardware Detect CD-ROM into the system

Step 3: Insert a blank floppy disk

Step 4: Open up a DOS window and type fdimage d:\bootimg.bin a:. This will copy the boot image from the Hardware detect CD-ROM to the floppy.

Step 5: On the floppy, edit the autoexec.bat file and change the following:
locate sssksys.ini
add:set XIMAGE=x345
goto IBMx345

Step 6: Reboot and make sure the a: is setup as yoru boot drive. Also ensure the CD is still in there.

Step 7: Everything after this is business as usual.
