1. UnixWare 1.1 Network Installation
1.1 Requirements
You will need the following in order to install the Ositech Trumpcard
UnixWare Driver on your UnixWare 1.1 system:
> A UnixWare 1.1 Application Server configured as an Install Server
> The Ositech Trumpcard UnixWare 1.1 network install diskette image
> One blank, 3.5-inch 1.44 Mb writable high density diskette
> Access to a UnixWare account machine
1.2 UnixWare 1.1 Network Installation Procedure
You will need to create the IHV Network Driver diskette in order to perform a
network of UnixWare 1.1 Application Server or Personal Edition. The
following example assumes that you are going to be using diskette1 (A:). If
you wish to use diskette2 (B:) then you should use the f1t and f13ht devices.
Follow these instructions:
1. Copy the compressed disk image from the DOS distribution
diskette to your UnixWare machine:
$ doscp a:unix/uw/net_inst/uw11_dsk.ddz /tmp/uw11_dsk.dd.Z
2. Uncompress the diskette image:
$ uncompress /tmp/uw11_dsk.dd
3. Place the blank, high density diskette in drive A: and
format the diskette:
$ format -v /dev/rdsk/f03ht
4. Copy the uncompressed diskette image onto the newly formatted
diskette:
$ dd if=/tmp/uw11_dsk.dd of=/dev/rdsk/f0t bs=36b
5. Label the diskette "IHV Network Driver Diskette"
The IHV Network Driver Diskette can be used to perform a Network Install of
UnixWare 1.1.
Please refer to the "Installing the Personal Edition or Application Server"
section of Chapter 1 "Installing UnixWare" of the UnixWare Installation
Handbook for more information on the UnixWare installation process.
If you have an Application Server which has been configured as an Install
Server on your network you will have to select "Network Install Server" from
the Media Type screen.
After making this selection, you will be prompted to insert the diskette
labeled "Network Install Diskette 1 of 1". The various network drivers are
read from this diskette and a list of available network cards is presented.
In order for you to use the Ositech Trumpcard Ethernet adapter, you will have
to select the "Other" option.
The installation will read more files from the diskette and the ask for the
"IHV Network Driver Diskette" which you created earlier. Place this diskette
into the drive.
You will then be presented with a selection screen. Select the Trumpcard
that you have. After selecting the appropriate Trumpcard, you will have to
configure the card, and select the media type.
After this, the installation will attempt to locate Install Servers that are
present on your network. You will also need a NetWare File Server on your
network for the installation to proceed. If an Install Server was detected,
you will be able to select from which Install Server you wish to copy the
files.
==========================================================================
2. UnixWare 2.0 Network Installation
2.1 Requirements
You will need the following in order to install the Ositech Trumpcard
UnixWare Driver on your UnixWare 2.0 system:
> A UnixWare 2.0 Application Server configured as an Install
Server (see the NOTE below)
> An original UnixWare 2.0 network installation utilities diskette
> The Ositech Trumpcard UnixWare 2.0 network install files
(config.z and otceth.z)
> One blank 3.5-inch 1.44 Mb writable high density diskette
> Access to the UnixWare root account on another UnixWare machine
2.2 UnixWare 2.0 Network Installation Procedure
To add the Ositech Trumpcard driver to the UnixWare 2.0 network installation
utilities diskette, you need to follow the following steps. The following
example assumes that diskette1 (drive A:) is being used. If diskette2 is
being used, then you would have to replace the f0t and f03ht with f1t and
f13ht respectively. Follow these instructions:
1. Become the root user using the su command:
su
Password:
2. Copy the Ositech Network install files from the DOS distribution diskette
into the UnixWare /tmp directory:
doscp a:unix/uw/net_inst/config.z /tmp/config.z
doscp a:unix/uw/net_inst/otceth.z /tmp/otceth.z
3. Make a copy of the original network installation utilities diskette:
dd if=/dev/rdsk/f0t of=/tmp/netflop.ORIG bs=36b
4. Remove the original network installation utilities diskette and insert the
new diskette to be formatted:
format -v /dev/rdsk/f03ht
5. Place the image of the original network installation utilities diskette on
the newly formatted diskette:
dd of=/dev/rdsk/f0t if=/tmp/netflop.ORIG bs=36b
6. Mount the copy network installation utilities diskette that you created in
step 5:
mount -Fs5 /dev/dsk/f0t /mnt
sync
7. Remove the unneeded NIC drivers from the nics directory on the new network
installation utilities diskette. This is to make space for the Trumpcard
network driver:
cd /mnt/nics
find . ! -name config.z -exec rm {} \;
8. Copy the Ositech driver files to the network installation utilities
diskette. Note that the extension of these files should be a lowercase z:
cp /tmp/config.z /mnt/nics/config.z
cp /tmp/otceth.z /mnt/nics/otceth.z
sync
cd /
umount /mnt
sync
9. You now have your new UnixWare network installation utilities diskette.
Use this diskette instead of the regular UnixWare 2.0 Network Installation
Utilities diskette to install UnixWare using the Trumpcard adapter.
After you have completed the UnixWare installation, you will have a bootable
UnixWare 2.0 system. To add the OTCETH package for network support, and the
OTCMOD for modem support, to your UnixWare 2.0 system please refer to the
README file of the Ositech UnixWare support package.
NOTE: We have experienced some problems configuring the Install Server,
apparently as the result of a file permissions problem. Therefore, if
you are experiencing media read errors when attempting to install from
the mounted CD-ROM media, you will have to spool the system package
onto the Install Server's local hard drive and make sure that the
spooled file has read access for others:
# cd /var/spool/dist/UnixWare2.0/C
# ls -l
-rw-r----- 1 root sys 70899200 Apr 12 13:42 as.package
# chmod o+r as.package

3. UnixWare 2.1 Network Installation
3.1 Requirements
You will need the following in order to install the Ositech Trumpcard
UnixWare Driver on your UnixWare 2.1 system:
> A UnixWare 2.1 Application Server configured as an Install
Server (see the NOTE above in section 2.2)
> An original UnixWare 2.1 installation diskette
> An original UnixWare 2.1 Network Installation Utilities diskette 1
> The Ositech Trumpcard UnixWare 2.1 network install files
> Access to the UnixWare root account on another UnixWare machine
> Knowledge of available IRQ's and memory windows on the system
3.2 UnixWare 2.1 Network Installation Procedure
Make sure you have the OSITECH Four of Diamonds UNIX Drivers diskette ready
before you start this operation. If that diskette is not available, then you
can make one by having a blank DOS formatted diskette with the following
files and exact directory structure:
Directory File
------------------------ ----------
\UNIXWARE\OTCETH\ SYSTEM
OTCETH.MOD
\UNIXWARE\OTCETH\LOCALE\ OTCETH.C
This diskette is labeled the IHV diskette (OSITECH ethernet support family).
Start by booting from the original UnixWare 2.1 installation diskette. It
will ask you a few question, then will prompt you to insert the original
UnixWare 2.1 Network Installation Utilities diskette 1. When the diskette
is read, a window appears giving the following two choices appears:
( ) Select from a full list of supported cards.
(*) Select from the list of cards on an IHV diskette.
Choose the marked selection, insert the OSITECH IHV diskette mentioned above,
and continue installation following every window's directions.
