For Novell NetWare Server
--------------------------
   1) You must make a bootable diskette for DOS.  This bootable
      diskette will be used to create the DOS Remote Boot Image File
      that is stored on the NetWare Server.
      Copy the following files into this bootable diskette :

                 LSL.COM
             SIS7016.COM         , DOS ODI Driver
              IPXODI.COM
                NETX.EXE         , (or VLM.EXE and related *.NLMs)
                 NET.CFG
            AUTOEXEC.BAT
              CONFIG.SYS

     A sample of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains these lines :

           LSL.COM
           SIS7016.COM
           IPXODI.COM
           NETX.EXE or VLM.EXE

     B sample of the CONFIG.SYS file contains these lines :

           LASTDRIVE=Z                 , (for VLM.EXE only)

   2) Login to the NetWare Server as a SUPERVISOR.  And change the
      directory to SYS:SYSTEM.

   3) Insert the DOS bootable diskette in drive A: , and execute the
      DOSGEN utility to create a DOS Boot Image File (NET$DOS.SYS)
      in the NetWare Server.
      Copy the NET$DOS.SYS file to the SYS:LOGIN directory.
      Remove the bootable diskette out of floppy drive.

   4) Copy the RBOOT.RPL and ETHER.RPL files to the SYS:LOGIN directory.
      Copy RPL.NLM to the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

        Note :
          The RPL.NLM file depends on the version of NetWare Server.
          In the RPL developer's kit,

             for Netware Server v3.11    , use .\RPL\NLM\311\RPL.NLM

             for Netware Server 3.12/4.x , use .\RPL\NLM\40\RPL.NLM

   5) Load the RPL.NLM module and bind RPL to the NetWare Server's
      network adapter using Ethernet 802.2 frame type under the
      server console.

   6) Plug the RPL Boot ROM into the ROM socket of adapter.
      And plug the adapter into the PCI slot of PC for remote boot.

   7) Now, turn on the PC, and you can attach to the NetWare Server.
