OS/2 Warp Server Remote Boot Service
Installation Guide
====================================
Install the OS/2 RIPL Server
============================
1. Install the Remote boot Service on the OS/2 Server.
a. Insert "OS/2 Warp Server V4.0 Advanced" CD in the CD-Drive.
b. Choose LAN Services, OS/2 LAN Services installation/Configuration,
Advanced(Tailored), install or configure this workstation, Domain
Controller, LAPS Configuration -> select OK, install or remove
a component, select "DOS Remote IPL Service" and install.
Note: LAN adapter and protocol support must have IBM IEEE 802.2, NetBIOS.
2. Install IBM PC DOS files for Remote boot workstation.
Config DOS Remote IPL Service, Duplicate DOS? -> YES, configure LAN adapter,
NetBIOS Resource -> OK, insert IBM PC DOS 6.3 and duplicate the DOS image,
Shutdown/Restart your system.
3. Create Remote boot configuration for new adapter.
a. Copy the NDIS2 DOS driver for the CNet PRO200WL PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter,
DM9PCI.DOS, to the directory, \IBMLAN\RPL\DOS.
b. Modify the RPL.MAP in the \IBMLAN\RPL by removing the mark ";" of
dosndet.cnf or dosbbet.cnf. In OS/2 Screen, type "GETRPL" to update the
RPL.MAP.
c. Create the DOS image file.
Choose 'LAN Services', 'LAN Server Management', 'Local Workstation', 'DOS
image definition', 'select STD3HBAS', and 'Selected Item ->in the create
image to server menu'. Pull down the 'Destination Server column' on the
right corner, and click the <OK> button.
e. Return to Local Workstation menu. Select RIPL Requester, RIPL Requester
Template. Select to Create another RIPL Requester template,
Identity: Enable DOS requester, fill MachineID and Network Adapter
address.
Note: The network adapter address should be the 6-byte MAC ID of the
remote booting client station.
Parameters: Server record id -> pull down to select R_DET_NDIS for
dosndet or R_DET for dosbbet.cnf.
Remote IPL boot driver: Z (use for bootup drive)
After setting finished, choose "Create" to create the new template.
f. Modify \IBMLAN\RPL\DOSNDET.CNF(DOSBBET.CNF) by changing
DRV DOS\MACETH.DOS to DRV DOS\DM9PCI.DOS
Sample for DOSNDET.CNF:
; DOS Boot Block Configuration (IBM PS/2 Adapters for Ethernet)
; NDIS LAN Support Program Drivers
BASE 7C0H
RPL DOS\RPLBOOT.SYS
LDR DOS\RPLLOADR.COM ~
DAT DOS\ETHERNET\PROTOCOL.INI

DRV DOS\DM9PCI.DOS ~ ~ ~
DRV E:\IBMLAN\DOSLAN\LSP\PROTMAN.DOS /I: ~ ~
g. Modify IBMLAN\RPL\DOS\PROTOCOL.INI by changing
[MACETH_MOD]
DriverName = MACETH$
to
DriverName = DM9PCI$
Sample for PROTOCOL.INI:
[PROTMAN_MOD]
DriverName = PROTMAN$
[DXMJ0_MOD]
DriverName = NETBEUI$
Bindings = MACETH_MOD
[DXME0_MOD]
DriverName = DXME0$
Bindings = MACETH_MOD
[MACETH_MOD]
DriverName = DM9PCI$
;=== unmark the followings ===
; IRQ = 3
; RAMADDRESS = 0Xc800
; IOBASE = 0X200
; RECEIVEBUFFERS = 16
; RECEIVECHAINS = 16
; MAXREQUESTS = 10
; MAXTRANSMITS = 10
; RECEIVEBUFSIZE = 256
4. In OS/2 Screen, type "NET START RPL" Start the Remoteboot service.
5. If you want to start the remote boot automatically after OS/2 server boot
up, please modify \IBMLAN\IBMLAN.INI by adding SRVSERVICES=REMOTEBOOT.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
