 How to install the Novell 4.1x & 5.0 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
        RTSODI   COM
        IPXODI   COM
        NETX     EXE 
        NET      CFG
        AUTOEXEC BAT
        CONFIG   SYS

     The AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains these lines :

        PATH H:\LOGIN;
        SET COMSPEC=H:\LOGIN\COMMAND.COM
           DOSKEY
           LSL
           RTSODI
           IPXODI
           NETX  
     The CONFIG.SYS file  contains these lines :

           DEVICE=A:\HIMEM.SYS
           STACKS=9,256
           DOS=HIGH
           FILES=30
           BUFFERS=30
           FCBS=16,8

 2. Boot a workstation with at least one floppy disk drive, and log in to
    the server as SUPERVISOR OR ADMIN.

 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 525439*         =   RTL8139.SYS
      0 x 52544C*         =   NE2000.SYS
      0 x 52544C29*       =   RTL8029.SYS
      0 x 52544C81*       =   RTL8129.SYS

        (Node number)   RTL8029.SYS,NE2000.SYS,RTL8129.SYS renamed by
                        NET$DOS.SYS file.

  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,

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

     For example:

          file server name FTEST
          ipx internal net 831123

          load NE2000 port=300 int=3 name=8022 frame=ETHERNET_802.2
          load NE2000 port=300 int=3 name=8023 frame=ETHERNET_802.3
          
          bind ipx to 8022 net=21
          bind ipx to 8023 net=23
          
          ; ---------- for RPL file server -----------------
          load rpl
          bind rpl to 8022
          ; ---------- for RPL file server -----------------

          mount all

          load monitor

 10. Shutdown the file server, and reboot it.

 11. Configure the RTL8139 PCI Card to "Boot ROM Enable".

 11. Now, when the file server is running, the workstation equipped with Boot
     ROM on the RTL8139 card will be attached to the file server without any
     hard disk or floppy.

• 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.
