-------------------- 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.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
