Abstract
A system for injecting drivers and setup information into pre-created images for image-based provisioning includes a disk image, a software driver configured to allow access to a specific hardware device (such as a disk or a network interface card), and a provisioning tool. The provisioning tool may be configured to insert the software driver and customized system setup information (e.g., a host name and network information) into the disk image after the creation of the disk image and prior to a boot from the disk image of an uninstalled host including the specific hardware device.
