System and method for integrating non-native storage devices in an information handling system image

A method for manufacture of an information handling system, the method comprising:

• copying an image to a mass storage device of the information handling system, the image having an operating system;
• copying one or more non-native drivers to the operating system;
• automatically parsing the non-native drivers on the information handling system to determine operating system entries associated with the non-native drivers;
• automatically copying the determined operating system entries to the operating system;
• and
• booting the information handling system from the operating system, the booting relying at least in part on the non-native drivers.

An information handling system comprising:

• an image engine operable to copy an image to a manufactured information handling system, the image having an operating system, the operating system having drivers to support communication with processing components of the information handling system;
• a driver engine operable to copy one or more drivers to the manufactured information handling system, the drivers non-native to the operating system;
• and
• a parser engine operable to parse a non-native driver to determine operating system entries associated with the driver and to copy the operating system entries to the operating system, the operating system entries enabling the operating system to recognize a component associated with the driver to boot from the component.
