-------------------- The ND4300 Boot ROM ----------------------
How to install the Novell 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
ND4300 COM
IPXODI COM
NETX EXE
AUTOEXEC BAT
CONFIG SYS
The AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains these lines :
PATH H:\LOGIN;
SET COMSPEC=H:\LOGIN\COMMAND.COM
DOSKEY
LSL
ND4300
IPXODI
NETX
The CONFIG.SYS file contains these lines :
DEVICE=A:\HIMEM.SYS
STACKS=9,256
DOS=HIGH,UMB
FILES=30
BUFFERS=30
LASTDRIVE=G
FCBS=16,8
2. Boot a workstation with at least one floppy disk drive, and log in 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. Remoteboot different DOS image files by RPL server
Create BOOTCONF.SYS in SYS:\LOGIN directory
BOOTCONF.SYS format is
0 x 00005A* = NE2000.SYS
0 x 002018* = ND4300.SYS
(Node number) ND4300.SYS,NE2000.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,
for Netware 3.11, use .\RPL\NLM\311\RPL.NLM;
for Netware 3.12/4.x use .\RPL\NLM\40\RPL.NLM;
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=ftest_1 frame=ETHERNET_802.2
load NE2000 port=300 int=3 name=ftest_2 frame=ETHERNET_II
load NE2000 port=300 int=3 name=ftest_3 frame=ETHERNET_802.3
load NE2000 port=300 int=3 name=ftest_4 frame=ETHERNET_Snap
bind ipx to ftest_1 net=21
bind ipx to ftest_2 net=22
bind ipx to ftest_3 net=23
bind ipx to ftest_4 net=24
; ---------- for RPL file server -----------------
load rpl
bind rpl to ftest_1
; ---------- for RPL file server -----------------
mount all
load pburst
set NCP PACKET SIGNATURE OPTION = 1
set immediate purge of deleted files=on
load remote FRTSA
load rspx
load monitor
10. Shutdown the file server, and reboot it.
11. Configure the ND4300 PCI Card to "Boot ROM Enable".
11. Now, when the file server is running, the workstation equipped with Boot
ROM on the ND4300 card will be attached to the file server without any
hard disk or floppy.
