Accton Technology Corporation Ethernet Remote Boot Rom for Lan Manager operation System ========================================================= Remote Boot Installation for LAN Manager 2.1 -------------------------------------------- Remote Boot installation on LAN Manager 2.1 may be complex. Also, be aware that the Accton Generic Boot ROM does not provide remote boot capability on a Microsoft OS/2 system. There are two ways to install the remote boot software on the LAN Manager server. You can either use Accton's configuration utility (on the Accton Driver diskette or download it from Accton's BBS), or edit the RPL files manually. Generic Boot Installation for LAN Manager 2.1 Using Accton's Configuration Utility ---------------------------------------------- 1. Refer to the Microsoft LAN Manager Administrator's Guide Chapter 13: Booting Workstations Remotely for more detailed information. Follow the steps to setup the remote boot environment, but do not use the RPLMGR.EXE program to create the remote boot profile. 2. Select an OS/2 full screen, and change to the RPL subdirectory. For example, C:\LANMAN\RPL 3. Copy the RPLCFG.CMD, RPL.ACC, RPLMGR.ACC and the ETHNE.DOS from the \RPL\LANMAN subdirectory of the Accton Driver diskette, or from Accton's BBS to C:\LANMAN\RPL. 4. Run RPLCFG to install the remote boot software. 5. Refer to the Chapter 13 of LAN Manager Administrator's Guide. Follow the steps in "Managing Remote Boot". Generic Boot Installation for LAN Manager 2.1 by Manually Editing the RPL File --------------------------------------------- 1. Refer to the Microsoft LAN Manager Administrator's Guide Chapter 13: Booting Workstations Remotely. Follow the steps to setup the remote boot environment, but do not use the RPLMGR.EXE program to create a remote boot profile. 2. Select an OS/2 full screen. Make C:\LANMAN\RPL the default directory. 3. Copy ETHNE.DOS to BBLOCK\NDIS 4. Create a subdirectory BBLOCK\NETBEUI\ETHNE 5. Create DOSBB.CNF and PROTOCOL.INI files in BBLOCK\NETBEUI\ETHNE as shown below: ----------------------------------------------------------- BBLOCK\NETBEUI\ETHNE\DOSBB.CNF: ; DOS on Accton Ethernet Adapter RPL BBLOCK\RPLBOOT.SYS LDR BBLOCK\RPLSTART.COM ~ DAT BBLOCK\NETBEUI\ETHNE\PROTOCOL.INI DRV BBLOCK\RPLDISK.SYS ~ 4 M EXE BBLOCK\RPLPRO1.COM ~ 2 ~ EXE BBLOCK\RPLBIND2.EXE ~ ~ EXE BBLOCK\PROTMAN.EXE ~ ~ EXE BBLOCK\RPLBIND1.EXE ~ ~ DRV BBLOCK\TCPDRV.DOS /I:C:\LANMAN.DOS ~ ~ EXE BBLOCK\NETBEUI\NETBEUI.EXE ~ 10 ~ DRV BBLOCK\NDIS\ETHNE.DOS ~ ~ ~ DRV BBLOCK\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANMAN.DOS ~ M BBLOCK\NETBEUI\ETHNE\PROTOCOL.INI: [protman] drivername = protman$ dynamic = yes priority = netbeui [netbeui] drivername = netbeui$ bindings = ethne names = 5 ncbs = 8 packets = 20 pipeline = 10 sessions = 4 stacksize = 512 lanabase = 0 [xnsnb] DRIVERNAME = XNSNB$ BINDINGS = ethne MAXPROCESSES = 12 FGTICKS = 2 BGTICKS = 2 MAXROUTES = MAXSOCKETS = MAXXMITDESCS = NONGROUPS = SHAREGROUPS = LOGINLIBRARY = COURIERLIBRARY = NETBIOSGROUPS = lanabase = 1 [xnstp] DRIVERNAME = XNSTP$ LOAD = XNSTP[CB] BINDINGS = ethne MAXPROCESSES = 12 FGTICKS = 2 BGTICKS = 2 MAXROUTES = MAXSOCKETS = MAXXMITDESCS = NONGROUPS = SHAREGROUPS = LOGINLIBRARY = COURIERLIBRARY = NETBIOSGROUPS = lanabase = 1 [tcpip] DRIVERNAME = TCPIP$ IPADDRESS0 = (TCPIP_ADDRESS) SUBNETMASK0 = (TCPIP_SUBMASK) DEFAULTGATEWAY0 = (TCPIP_GATEWAY) NBSESSIONS = 6 LOAD = tcptsr[c],tinyrfc[c],emsbfr[cr] UNLOAD = "unloadt /notsr[dc]" bindings = ethne lanabase = 1 [ethne] drivername = ethne$ ;iobase = 0x300 ;irq = 0x3 --------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Edit the RPL.MAP in the current directory. a. Add the lines below the description of "boot block records" yyyyyyyyyyyy BBLOCK\NETBEUI\ETHNE\DOSBB.CNF 2 6 A ~ DOS ~Accton~EtherPair 0000E8 ~ ,,, ~ RDOSA ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ b. Insert the lines before the description of "profile and workstation records added by rplmgr" 0000E8?????? ???????? D FITS\DEFAULT (RPL_SERVER_NAME) S ~ ~ ~,,, ~ RDOSA ~ DEFAULT *~New~Accton~EtherPair~* ~ ~ ~ 7. Edit the RPLMGR.INI in the current directory. Insert the following section before the OS/2 description block. [configuration] name = DOS330A os = DOS330 dirname = DOS dirname2 = DOS330 bblink = RDOSA fitfileshared = fits\dos330 fitfilepersonal = fits\dos330p comment = DOS 3.30 Accton EtherPair adapter = 0000E8?????? [configuration] name = DOS401A os = DOS401 dirname = DOS dirname2 = DOS401 bblink = RDOSA fitfileshared = fits\dos401 fitfilepersonal = fits\dos401p comment = DOS 4.01 Accton EtherPair adapter = 0000E8??????

And append the following line to RPLMGR.INI ; 0000E8 = Accton (Ethernet) 8. Log onto the network as an administrator. Stop the remote boot service. Run RPLINST. Then restart remote boot service. 9.
