Boot ROM Installation for Novell NetWare RPL Server
===================================================
1. Prepare a blank diskette for the remote boot image file.

   a. Label a blank diskette "Remote Boot Image"

   b. From your DOS root directory, type
         format a: /s

   c. Files needed on the remote boot image include the following:

      - For the DOS ODI workstation with NetWare v3.x:
        LSL.COM
        PNPODI.COM
        IPXODI.COM
        NETX.COM
        NET.CFG
        AUTOEXEC.BAT

      - For the DOS ODI workstation with NetWare v4.x:
        LSL.COM
        PNPODI.COM
        IPXODI.COM
        VLM.EXE   (Need related *.VLM files)
        NET.CFG
        AUTOEXEC.BAT

   d. The AUTOEXEC.BAT file must contain these lines:

      For example:
        SET COMSPEC=F:\LOGIN\COMMAND.COM
        LSL
        PNPODI
        IPXODI
        NETX (or VLM)
        F:


2. Create the remote boot image file.

   a. Use this "Remote Boot Image" Disk to boot to connect server to make
      sure this disk is correct and login to server as SUPERVISOR(or ADMIN).

   b. Change directory to SYS:SYSTEM and execute the DOSGEN utility.
      This will create a DOS boot image file named NET$DOS.SYS.
      Copy NET$DOS.SYS to the SYS:LOGIN directory.

   c. Copy COMMAND.COM and AUTOEXEC.BAT to the SYS:LOGIN directory.


3. Install the NetWare Server RPL software.

   a. Copy RBOOT.RPL to the SYS:LOGIN directory. (only for Netware 3.11)
      Copy RPL.NLM to the SYS:SYSTEM directory. (only for Netware 3.11)
      NOTE: Netware 3.12 and 4.x have bundled the above two files.

   b. Add the RPL function to Netware Server : Load RPL.NLM and bind RPL
      to appropriate frame type(ETHERNET_802.2) of the Server LAN driver.


4. Boot your workstation.

   a. Run SETUP.EXE of distribution diskette to set "Boot ROM Enable"
      of the workstation adapter. Set complete and reboot the workstation.

   b. When the file server is running, the workstation equipped with Boot
      ROM on the adapter will be attached to the file server without any
      hard disk or floppy.
