The script will stop and ask you to hit enter to continue to load SCSI
drivers, it then asked me if I wanted it to probe for SCSI drivers: [n], I took
the default [n]o and hit enter. Next, it asked what partition contains your NT
installation, I took the default again, in this case [/dev/hda2] and hit enter.
Then it asked: what is the full path to the registry directory, again select
the default [windows\system32\config]. Next came the question, which hives
(files) do you want to edit (leave default for password setting, separate
multiple names with spaces), the default was [sam system security], I chose to
type software and hit enter.
I then chose option 9 - registry editor.
A ? will get you a list of commands that are available, I used ls which appears
to be equivalent to a DOS dir command... cd to change directories... cat to
print the value of a key... and ed to change the value of a key.
For instance (this is from memory, not notes... sorry) at the prompt [1020],
type cd Microsoft and hit enter, then cd Windows NT and hit enter, then cd
CurrentVersion and hit enter, finally cd Winlogon and hit enter (case is
important).
Maybe you could just type one cd Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Winlogon
and hit enter... I don't know. But it seems to be the registry equivalent of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
At that point I typed cat Userinit and lo and behold, up came
C:\WINDOWS\System32\wsaupdater.exe... I don't know what company replaced
userinit.exe with this entry, but I don't think I like them. At any rate I
typed ed Userinit and at the prompt [C:\Windows\System32\wsaupdater.exe] I typed
C:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe and hit enter.
Then q to quit (you will be asked if there is something to save), q to keep
quitting and y when it asks if you're sure you want to write the changes
(careful, careful... good luck). The program then dumped me out to a # prompt
and said I could rerun the script if I typed a space followed by sh /script/main.rc
I removed the cdrom from the drive and rebooted to Windows XP, no problems.
