Remote boot procedure for DX200W / DX200V PCI in Windows NT ver 4.0
STEP-1 : Copy all the MS-DOS files either from a DOS client or from the
floppy drive of the WINDOWS-NT server to
\systemroot\RPL\RPLFILES\BINFILES\DOSxxx directory, where xxx is
the version number (for example DOS622). You may have to remove
the hidden file attribute in order to copy the system files. Copy
files only to an existing DOSXXX directory; do not create a new
directory. For example, any version of MS-DOS6.2X must be copied
to existing DOS622 directory.
STEP-2 : Make a directory called DAX200 in the path ,
\systemroot\RPL\BBLOCK\NETBEUI\DAX200
Copy the files PROTOCOL.INI & DOSBB.CNF from the directory
A:\NTRBOOT\DOS to the
\systemroot\RPL\BBLOCK\NETBEUI\DAX200 directory.
Copy the MS-DOS device driver RTSND.DOS from the directory
A:\NDIS2 to the
\systemroot\RPL\BBLOCK\NDIS directory.
Copy the RTL8139.NIF file from the directory A:\NDIS2 to
\systemroot\RPL\RPLFILES\BINFILES\LANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\NIF directory.
STEP-3 : Run rplcmd utility to add a new boot block record. The command
line is as follows:
C:\winnt\rpl>rplcmd
Adapter Boot Config Profile Service Vendor Wksta (Quit):b
Add Del Enum:a
Boot Name=DAX200b
VendorName=000021
BbcFile-BBLOCK\NETBEUI\DAX200\DOSBB.CNF
All other parameters are optional
BootComment-boot profile for DAX200
WindowSize=0
Adapter Boot Config Profile Service Vendor Wksta (Quit):c
Add Del Enum:a
ConfigName=DAX200c
BootName=DAX200b
DirName=DOS
DirName2=Dos622 (enter the specific DOS path if not using
DOS6.22 e.g. DOS500 for DOS v5.00)
Fitshared=fits\dos622.FIT (the name is case sensitive. Make
sure it is enter as shown)
FitPersonal=fits\dos6.22p.FIT (same as above)
ConfigComment=DOS6.22DX200
For DirName3 and DirName4 leave it blank.
STEP4 : Now a new profile for the DAX200 cards has been created.
In the REMOTEBOOT MANAGER ICON in the NT server, create a
new profile by selecting this new configuration DAX200.
STEP5 : Add this profile in the NT server.
STEP6 : Enable the remote bootrom of the DX200W / DX200V PCI card in
the node. Disconnect Netware server if any available in the network.
STEP7 : The node will be recognised in the Remote boot Manager
ICON as "UNKNOWN ADAPTER ID 000021xxxxx." Once this message
appears, from the Remote Boot Manager menu, Select
CONVERT ADAPTERS so that this unidentified workstation can be
configured with a username and password. In the profile section,
select the profile which you had created for DX200W / DX200V cards.
Reboot the node and the node will boot DOS from NT. If the node does not
have a local harddisk, once the node remote boots to NT, NT will act as
the local drive C for the remote node. If the remote node has a local harddisk,
NT will act as drive C and the actual local drive connected in the node will be
drive D.
The node will remote boot successfully.
