Have a look at the 911cd forums. I wrote the initial thread on RAM booting WinPE. To answer to question... memdisk won't work with Windows.

Windows doesn't respect the memdisk allocation.

I get the VNC window for the installer, but I can''t get it to accept any keystrokes (e.g. hitting the F5 so I can tell it to use a standard PC HAL). If I opt to use SDL, I get no console at all.
