    The replication floppy message during boot is an option/prompt, not a requirement.  You can use a fresh installation to create a floppy for an unattended install on other servers of the same model, with the same hardware. 

    In the case of a fresh install, just let the script continue on. 

    Thank you for using Dell Community Forums!

    Hi,

     

    Can you tell me how to create a replication floppy - or tell me the location of the documentation please.  I have 6 plus PE2850, to configure.

     

    Many thanks in advance

    During the first server installation please choose the options below:
    --Save Unattended Installation Script at C:\unattend.txt,C:\txtsetup.oem
    --Save Profile for Replication at C:\replication

    Then after the installation is complete, copy the unattend.txt, txtsetup.oem and contents of c:\replication to the root of a floppy diskette.Then insert the replication floppy when prompted during the DSA boot sequence.

    Have a nice holiday season!
