--------------------   The RPL Boot ROM Installation   --------------------



 How to install the Novell RPL Server

  1. You must create a remote boot diskette. The files on this boot diskette,
     for example, are the following:
	COMMAND  COM
	LSL	 COM
	NE2000	 COM
	IPXODI	 COM
	NETX	 EXE  (VLM.EXE)
	AUTOEXEC BAT

     The AUTOEXEC.BAT file must contain these lines :
	   LSL
	   NE2000
	   IPXODI
	   NETX      (VLM.EXE)

  2. Use this boot diskette login 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. Copy RBOOT.RPL, ETHER.RPL to the SYS:LOGIN directory.

  7. 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;

  8. Edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file in the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

     For example:

	  file server name FS
	  ipx internal net 111111

	  load NE2000 port=300 int=3 frame=ETHERNET_802.2

	  bind ipx to ne2000 net=21

	  ; ---------- for RPL file server -----------------
	  load rpl

	  bind rpl to ne2000

	  mount all

	  load monitor

  9. Shutdown the file server, and reboot it.

 10. Configure the "Boot ROM Enable" for workstation lan card, and insert the
     remote reset ROM on the ROM socket.

 11. Reboot the workstation.

 12. Now, when the file server is running, the workstation will be attached
     to the file server from the remote reset ROM.


 Note: If you used this RPL BROM on (UM9008) lan card for PNP mode, then you
       can't boot from BROM. So you must used MOD9008.EXE program to set 
       jumperless mode on (UM9008) lan card.
