Remote Boot (RPL) for Novell NetWare
==========================================
Introduction
============
This document describes the procedures to use Remote Boot-ROM(RPL) with
AEF-360TX Family PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter on Novell NetWare network.
Installation Procedure
======================
1. Make a bootable diskette, place that diskette into floppy driver A.
> FORMAT A: /S <Enter>
2. Copy the required files to that diskette, for example, "HIMEM.SYS",
"EMM386.EXE","SETVER.EXE" ....
3. Copy "LSL.COM", "RTSODI.COM", "IPXODI.COM", "VLM.EXE" and all VLM
files (or "NETX.EXE") to that diskette.
4. Create "AUTOEXEC.BAT", "CONFIG.SYS" and "NET.CFG" files.
5. Login NetWare as supervisor.
6. Execute following commands:
> MAP G:=SYS:SYSTEM <Enter>
> MAP F:=SYS:LOGIN <Enter>
7. Change to the F drive, then Execute following command:
> G:DOSGEN <Enter>
8. Copy "AUTOEXEC.BAT" file from the boot diskette to the LOGIN directory.
9. At NetWare Server console, execute following commands:
(Supposing server use AEF-360TX PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter)
: load RTSSRV frame=Ethernet_802.2
: bind IPX to RTSSRV
: load RPL
: bind RPL to RTSSRV (Choosing Ethernet_802.2 frame type)
10. Last, restart workstation using remote BootROM function to connect
NetWare Server.
--- Sample CONFIG.SYS file ---
:
DEVICE=SETVER.EXE
LASTDRIVE=Z --------> only for VLM
:
--- Sample AUTOEXEC.BAT file ---
:
LSL
RTSODI ---------> ODI driver
IPXODI
VLM ---------> or NETX
F:
LOGIN
--- Sample NET.CFG file ---
LINK DRIVER RTSODI
FRAME ETHERNET_802.2
FRAME ETHERNET_802.3
NETWARE DOS REQUESTER
NETWARE PROTOCOL = NDS BIND
FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F
Install Bootconf.sys
====================
1. Rename the Net$dos.sys as the you want XXXX.sys
2. Create Bootconf.sys in sys:\login directory if you have multiple boot
images. The Bootconf.sys file format is as below:
Node ID Number = Boot images files
Example: Single Boot Images
0x0000f8000001 = ne2000.sys
0x0000f8000002 = RTS.sys
Example: Multiple Boot Images
0x0000f8000001 = ne2000.sys RTS.sys
0x*,* = ne2000.sys RTS.sys (All the node)
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.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
