NWPA Update Package Installation Instructions for NetWare 4.11
Before installing the FastTrak NetWare driver, make sure
that you have installed the latest update for the NetWare
4 operating system.
1. From the website at
http://developer.novell.com/devres/sas/certinfo.htm
download NWPA_UP.EXE from the "Download the Update
Package" link.
2. Install DOS and the CD-ROM driver on the target server
machine.
3. Create the directory C:\UPDATE, and then change to that
directory.
4. Copy NWPA_UP.EXE to C:\UPDATE.
5. Execute NWPA_UP.EXE in the C:\UPDATE directory.
6. Delete NBI31X.NLM, NWTAPE.CDM, and NWTAPE.DDI.
For New Netware 4.11 Servers:
Note: If your server already has NetWare 4.11 installed, jump
to step 7 of the next section "For Existing Netware 4.11
Servers."
7. Change directory to the D:\ directory on the CD-ROM drive,
if its drive letter is D:
8. Enter install at the DOS command line. Proceed through the
installation of NetWare 4.11 as usual.
9. When prompted by Install to select a device driver to load,
select the FASTTRAK.HAM driver.
10. Switch to console mode by using <ALT><ESC> before continuing
installation, and type "load c:\update\IDEHD.CDM". Do this is
to make sure that the IDEHD.CDM is version 2.00 (1998-8-5) or
newer. (The older default IDEHD.CDM doesn't support LBA mode
addressing, and will have problems with the FASTTRAK.HAM driver.)
11. After IDEHD.CDM is loaded, use <ALT><ESC> to switch to the
installation monitor and proceed through the installation of
NetWare 4.11 as usual. When the installation program prompts you
to edit STARTUP.NCF, enter the following lines after any set
parameters but before any file loading, then save the file:
load c:\update\nwpa
load c:\update\nbi
load c:\update\idehd.cdm
12. DOWN and EXIT the server.
13. Reboot the server.
For Existing Netware 4.11 Servers:
7. Copy the Fasttrak driver FASTTRAK.HAM & FASTTRAK.DDI into
the Netware 4.11 boot directory. Ex. C:\NWSERVER\
8. Edit STARTUP.NCF and add the following lines after any set
parameters but before any file loading:
load c:\update\nwpa
load c:\update\nbi
load c:\update\idehd.cdm
Also add subsequent line "load FastTrak" to load the
FASTTRAK.HAM driver.
9. Boot the server.
