Ethernet Remote Boot Rom for Lan Manager operation System
=========================================================
Remote Boot Installation for LAN Manager 2.1
--------------------------------------------
Remote Boot installation on LAN Manager 2.1 may be complex.
Also, be aware that the Accton Generic Boot ROM does
not provide remote boot capability on a Microsoft OS/2 system.
There are two ways to install the remote boot software on
the LAN Manager server. You can either use Accton's
configuration utility (on the Accton Driver diskette
or download it from Accton's BBS), or edit the RPL
files manually.
Generic Boot Installation for LAN Manager 2.1
Using Accton's Configuration Utility
----------------------------------------------
1. Refer to the Microsoft LAN Manager Administrator's Guide
Chapter 13: Booting Workstations Remotely for more
detailed information.
Follow the steps to setup the remote boot environment,
but do not use the RPLMGR.EXE program to create
the remote boot profile.
2. Select an OS/2 full screen, and change to the
RPL subdirectory. For example, C:\LANMAN\RPL
3. Copy the RPLCFG.CMD, RPL.ACC, RPLMGR.ACC and the ETHNE.DOS
from the \RPL\LANMAN subdirectory of the Accton Driver
diskette, or from Accton's BBS to C:\LANMAN\RPL.
4. Run RPLCFG to install the remote boot software.
5. Refer to the Chapter 13 of LAN Manager Administrator's Guide.
Follow the steps in "Managing Remote Boot".
Generic Boot Installation for LAN Manager 2.1
by Manually Editing the RPL File
---------------------------------------------
1. Refer to the Microsoft LAN Manager Administrator's Guide
Chapter 13: Booting Workstations Remotely. Follow the
steps to setup the remote boot environment, but do not
use the RPLMGR.EXE program to create a remote boot profile.
2. Select an OS/2 full screen. Make C:\LANMAN\RPL the default
directory.
3. Copy ETHNE.DOS to BBLOCK\NDIS
4. Create a subdirectory BBLOCK\NETBEUI\ETHNE
5. Create DOSBB.CNF and PROTOCOL.INI files in
BBLOCK\NETBEUI\ETHNE as shown below:
-----------------------------------------------------------
BBLOCK\NETBEUI\ETHNE\DOSBB.CNF:
; DOS on Accton Ethernet Adapter
RPL BBLOCK\RPLBOOT.SYS
LDR BBLOCK\RPLSTART.COM ~
DAT BBLOCK\NETBEUI\ETHNE\PROTOCOL.INI
DRV BBLOCK\RPLDISK.SYS ~ 4 M
EXE BBLOCK\RPLPRO1.COM ~ 2 ~
EXE BBLOCK\RPLBIND2.EXE ~ ~
EXE BBLOCK\PROTMAN.EXE ~ ~
EXE BBLOCK\RPLBIND1.EXE ~ ~
DRV BBLOCK\TCPDRV.DOS /I:C:\LANMAN.DOS ~ ~
EXE BBLOCK\NETBEUI\NETBEUI.EXE ~ 10 ~
DRV BBLOCK\NDIS\ETHNE.DOS ~ ~ ~
DRV BBLOCK\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANMAN.DOS ~ M
BBLOCK\NETBEUI\ETHNE\PROTOCOL.INI:
[protman]
drivername = protman$
dynamic = yes
priority = netbeui
[netbeui]
drivername = netbeui$

;iobase = 0x300
;irq = 0x3
---------------------------------------------------------------
6. Edit the RPL.MAP in the current directory.
a. Add the lines below the description of "boot block records"
yyyyyyyyyyyy BBLOCK\NETBEUI\ETHNE\DOSBB.CNF 2 6 A ~ DOS
~Accton~EtherPair 0000E8 ~ ,,, ~ RDOSA ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
b. Insert the lines before the description of "profile and
workstation records added by rplmgr"
0000E8?????? ???????? D FITS\DEFAULT (RPL_SERVER_NAME)
S ~ ~ ~,,, ~ RDOSA ~ DEFAULT *~New~Accton~EtherPair~* ~ ~ ~
7. Edit the RPLMGR.INI in the current directory.
Insert the following section before the OS/2 description block.
[configuration]
name = DOS330A
os = DOS330
dirname = DOS
dirname2 = DOS330
bblink = RDOSA
fitfileshared = fits\dos330
fitfilepersonal = fits\dos330p
comment = DOS 3.30 Accton EtherPair
adapter = 0000E8??????
[configuration]
name = DOS401A
os = DOS401
dirname = DOS
dirname2 = DOS401
bblink = RDOSA
fitfileshared = fits\dos401
fitfilepersonal = fits\dos401p
comment = DOS 4.01 Accton EtherPair
adapter = 0000E8??????
[configuration]
name = DOS500A
os = DOS500
dirname = DOS
dirname2 = DOS500
bblink = RDOSA
fitfileshared = fits\dos500
fitfilepersonal = fits\dos500p
comment = DOS 5.00 Accton EtherPair
adapter = 0000E8??????
And append the following line to RPLMGR.INI
; 0000E8 = Accton (Ethernet)
8. Log onto the network as an administrator.
Stop the remote boot service. Run RPLINST.
Then restart remote boot service.
9. Refer to the Chapter 13 of LAN Manager
Administrator's Guide. Follow "Managing Remote Boot"
to generate a workstation profile.

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.
