A. How to install the Novell 3.X 4.X RPL server.
B. How to install the Microsoft Windows NTAS 3.5 , 3.51 RPL server.
C. How to install the Microsoft LAN Manager 2.1 Remoteboot server.

A. How to install the Novell RPL Server
1. You must create a remote boot diskette. Copy the following files into
this boot diskette:
COMMAND COM
IO SYS attrib -s -h io.sys
MSDOS SYS attrib -s -h msdos.sys
LSL COM
NETODI COM
IPXODI COM
NETX EXE
AUTOEXEC BAT
CONFIG SYS
The AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains these lines :
PATH H:\LOGIN;
SET COMSPEC=H:\LOGIN\COMMAND.COM
DOSKEY
LSL
NETODI
IPXODI
NETX or VLM
The CONFIG.SYS file contains these lines :
DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS
STACKS=9,256
DOS=HIGH,UMB
FILES=30
BUFFERS=30
LASTDRIVE=G
FCBS=16,8
2. Boot a workstation with at least one floppy disk drive, and log in to
the server as SUPERVISOR.
3. Change directory to SYS:SYSTEM
4. With the DOS boot diskette in driver A: execute the DOSGEN utility. This
creates a DOS boot image file named NET$DOS.SYS.
5. Copy NET$DOS.SYS to the SYS:LOGIN directory.
6. Remoteboot different DOS image files by RPL server
Create BOOTCONF.SYS in SYS:\LOGIN directory
BOOTCONF.SYS format is
0 x 00E07D* = EA-1210.SYS
Note:
if have not BOOTCONF.SYS file or node number is not match in BOOTCONF.SYS
Node number , there will be boot default NET$DOS.SYS
7. Copy RBOOT.RPL, ETHER.RPL to the SYS:LOGIN directory.
8. Copy RPL.NLM to the SYS:SYSTEM directory.
Note: It depends on file server's version.
In the RPL developer's kit,
for Netware 3.11, use .\RPL\NLM\311\RPL.NLM;
for Netware 3.12/4.x use .\RPL\NLM\40\RPL.NLM;
9. Edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file in the SYS:SYSTEM directory.
For example:
file server name FILETEST
ipx internal net 831123
load NE2000 port=300 int=3 name=ftest_1 frame=ETHERNET_802.2
load NE2000 port=300 int=3 name=ftest_2 frame=ETHERNET_II
load NE2000 port=300 int=3 name=ftest_3 frame=ETHERNET_802.3
load NE2000 port=300 int=3 name=ftest_4 frame=ETHERNET_Snap
bind ipx to ftest_1 net=21
bind ipx to ftest_2 net=22
bind ipx to ftest_3 net=23
bind ipx to ftest_4 net=24
; ---------- for RPL file server -----------------
load rpl
bind rpl to ftest_1
; ---------- for RPL file server -----------------
mount all
load monitor
10. Shutdown the file server, and reboot it.
11. Configure the 10/100M Fast Ethernet Adapter to "Boot ROM Enable".
11. Now, when the file server is running, the workstation equipped with Boot
ROM on the 10/100M Fast Ethernet Adapter will be attached to the file
server without any hard disk or floppy.
