   Remote boot to NetWare server

   Introduction:
   -------------
   This document describes the procedures to install RPL server on NetWare
   file server.


   Install the Novell 3.X 4.X RPL server:
   ---------------------------------------
   1. Create a boot image

   1.1 You must  create a  remote boot diskette.  The files on this boot
       diskette, for example, should include the following files:
	  COMMAND.COM
	  IO.SYS	 (attrib -s -h io.sys)
	  MSDOS.SYS	 (attrib -s -h msdos.sys)
	  HIMEM.SYS
	  EMM386.EXE
	  LSL.COM
	  PCIODI.COM
	  IPXODI.COM
	  NETX.EXE
	  NET.CFG
	  AUTOEXEC.BAT
	  CONFIG.SYS

       The NET.CFG file may contain these lines :

	  LINK DRIVER PCIODI
	  Frame Ethernet_802.2
#	  Frame Ethernet_802.3
#	  Frame Ethernet_II
#	  Protocol IPX 0 Ethernet_802.3


       The AUTOEXEC.BAT file may contain these lines :

	  DOSKEY
	  LSL
	  PCIODI      (Ethernet ODI Driver)
	  IPXODI
	  NETX
	  PATH F:\LOGIN;
	  SET COMSPEC=F:\LOGIN\COMMAND.COM

       The CONFIG.SYS file may contain these lines :

	  DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS
	  DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS /Y=Y:EMM386.EXE ***
	  STACKS=9,256
	  DOS=HIGH,UMB
	  FILES=30
	  BUFFERS=30
	  LASTDRIVE=E
	  FCBS=16,8

       Note:  DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS /Y=?:EMM386.EXE
	      you must replace the '?' with the drive letter that maps to
	      your DOS path on the server.

   1.2. Boot a workstation with at least one floppy disk drive, and login
	to the server as SUPERVISOR.

   1.3. Change directory to SYS:SYSTEM

   1.4. Insert the  DOS boot diskette  in driver A:  and run the  DOSGEN
	utility. This creates a DOS boot image file named NET$DOS.SYS. You
	can rename NET$DOS.SYS to whatever you want.

   1.5. Copy all boot image files to the SYS:LOGIN directory.

   2. Create BOOTCONF.SYS text file

   2.1	Create BOOTCONF.SYS in SYS:\LOGIN  directory if you have multiple
	boot images. The BOOTCONF.SYS file format is as below:

	 Node ID Number    =   Boot image files...

   2.1.1 Single boot image for each node ID
	 0x00C026000012    =   PCI.SYS
	 0x00C026000013    =   NET$DOS.SYS

   2.1.2 Multiple boot images for each node ID
	 0x00C026000012    =   NET$DOS.SYS PCI.SYS
	 0x00C026000013    =   NET$DOS.SYS NE2000.SYS

   2.1.3 Using wildcard characters
	 0x00C02601*	   =   NET$DOS.SYS PCI.SYS    or
	 0x00C026*	   =   PCI.SYS		      or
	 0x*,*		   =   NET$DOS.SYS PCI.SYS NE2000.SYS

	 Multiple boot	images will cause the BOOTROM  program to display
	 image options on the workstation screen. The screen looks like

	Place CURSOR on DISK IMAGE file; Hit ENTER when Ready:
	      NET$DOS.SYS
	      PCI.SYS
	      NE2000.SYS

    Note:
       1. PCI.SYS, NE2000.SYS are renamed from NET$DOS.SYS.
       2. 0x*,* stands for all nodes.
       3. If you don't have BOOTCONF.SYS file or Node number does not match
	  with those specified in BOOTCONF.SYS, you will boot the default
	  image.

   3. Copy all RPL related files to file server

   3.1 Copy RBOOT.RPL, ETHER.RPL to the SYS:LOGIN directory.

   3.2 Copy RPL.NLM to the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

    Note: This 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;

   4. Load RPL.NLM module and bind RPL.NLM

   4.1 Load RPL.NLM module and bind RPL.NLM to the 802.2 Ethernet adapter.

   4.2 Edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file in the SYS:SYSTEM directory to load RPL
       modules once the file server starts up.

       For example:

	    file server name FTEST
	    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
	    ; ---------- end for RPL file server -----------------

	    mount all
	    load monitor

   4.2 Shutdown and reboot the file server to have AUTOEXEC.NCF take effect.
       (Optional)

   5. Configure the Ethernet adapter to enable Boot ROM support.

   5.1 Place the PROM on the top of the socket and push the PROM into the
       socket gently, making sure not to bend the pins on the PROM.

   5.2 Configure  the Ethernet	adapter to  "Boot ROM Enable"  using setup
       program.
