Hyper-v support for F12 - Wednesday, January 18, 2012 2:50 PM

Does anyone know if there is a way to force a network boot using F12 on a hyper-v guest system?  I really hate having to manually change the boot order when building MDT systems for ConfigMgr.
 
Thanks in advance!

You have to use the legacy adapter for this work. The regular one is synthetic and not available at boot up.

I know you need the legacy adapter but the key piece missing in the MSFT Hyper-V world is the ability to hit F12 at boot time to bring up a boot option menu.  Having to set the nic as the default boot option is a real pain when working with MDT/OSD and PXE.
 
thanks for your info though as those new to hyper-v will need to know that little tidbit as well..
