LAN Manager* Remote Boot Installation Notes for Intel's EtherExpress(TM)
PRO/10 LAN Adapter
========================================================================

Location of Driver: \NDIS\MSLANMAN.BAT


MSLANMAN.BAT will copy files from the PRO/10 ISA adapter diskette and
create the following directory structure on the root of the local hard
drive:
   
   \MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\EPRO\EPRO.DOS (DOS NDIS driver)
   \MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\EPRO\PROTOCOL.INI
   \MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\NIF\EPRO.NIF
   
   \MSLANMAN.OS2\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\EPRO\EPRO.OS2 (OS/2 NDIS driver)
   \MSLANMAN.OS2\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\EPRO\PROTOCOL.INI
   \MSLANMAN.OS2\DRIVERS\NIF\EPRO.NIF


General Installation
--------------------

This document assumes the RPL workstations are running DOS 5.0 or above
(remote OS/2 workstations are not supported), and the server is using LAN
Manager's default file structure.

   To create the default file structure, place the PRO/10 ISA adapter
   driver diskette in A:, and type the following command:
      
      A:\NDIS\MSLANMAN C:\
      
      Note: the drive specified must instruct the program to copy it to
            the root of the drive, otherwise, the installation program
            won't find the drivers.

1  If you have a hard disk in the RPL workstations you need to execute
   Microsoft's RPLENABL command before those workstations can boot from
   the network.  See the "Microsoft LAN Manager Administrator Guide" for
   more information on RPLENABL.

2  Chapter 13 of the "LAN Manager Administrator Guide" is on remote boot
   workstations.  Complete the sections on Preparing the Server,
   Installing LAN Manager with Remote Selections, and Setting up for MS-
   DOS* and MS-OS/2 Workstations.  A note in Chapter 13, Section 4,
   refers to MSDOS.SYS, IO.SYS, IBMDIO.COM, and IBMDOS.COM.  Use the File
   Manager to turn off the SYSTEM and HIDDEN file attributes for these
   files.  You can verify these attributes are correct by displaying a
   directory listing for C:\LANMAN\RPL\RPLFILES\BINFILES\DOS500.

   If the MSDOS.SYS and IO.SYS files are not visible in this virtual root
   directory when booting an RPL workstation, the following error will be
   displayed: "NON-SYSTEM DISK insert DOS disk and strike any key."

3  The name of the server MUST conform to the DOS naming convention
   (eight characters or less).

4  Be sure RPLINST runs successfully before you continue.  This is an
   indication that the DOS directory is installed correctly.

5  Setting up an RPL workstation is a fairly detailed process.  If you
   have additional questions about the remote boot process, refer to your
   LAN Manager documentation.

6  Make sure the REMOTEBOOT service is not running.  This can be done by
   entering the command NET STOP REMOTEBOOT at the server's OS/2 prompt.

   NOTE:  You will need to be logged in as NET ADMIN.

7. Remove all references to Intel EtherExpress(TM) PRO/10 (EPRO) card in
   the RPL.MAP & RPLMGR.INI files located in the C:\LANMAN\RPL directory.

   These entries probably don't exist unless you entered them manually.

   To help determine if RPL.MAP & RPLMGR.INI contain references to the
   EtherExpress PRO/10 card
   
   -  Look for lines that begin with 00AA00?????? in the RPL.MAP file. If
      any exist, remove them.
   
   -  Look for configurations that contain "bblink = RDOSIN" or
      "adapters=00AA00??????." If any exist, remove them.
      
      Note: The PRO/10+ adapter uses an Ethernet address beginning with
            00A0C9. Look for this character string also.

8  Edit the RPL.MAP file to include information about the EtherExpress
   PRO/10 adapter.  (Path: \LANMAN\RPL\RPL.MAP).  Use existing entries in
   the RPL.MAP file.  Modify them to look like the following lines.  We
   show each entry as two lines, but in the RPL.MAP file each entry will
   be on one line.

   Check the syntax and spacing carefully!
      
      Note: The PRO/10+ adapter uses an Ethernet address beginning with
            00A0C9. Use SoftSet2 to check what your Ethernet address is
            and use the appropriate string in the boot block records and
            RPLMGR.INI.


   In the Boot Block Records
   -------------------------
   yyyyyyyyyyyy BBLOCK\NETBEUI\EPRO\DOSBB.CNF 2 6 A ~ DOS~INTEL~
   EPRO      00AA00 ~ ,,, ~  RDOSIN ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~


   In the Workstation Records
   --------------------------
   00AA00?????? INTEL D FITS\DOS500 (RPL_SERVER_NAME) S ~ ~ ~ ,,, ~
   RDOSIN  ~ DEFAULT *~New~Intel~EPRO~*~ ~ ~

   NOTE: The RPL_Server_Name must conform to the DOS naming
         convention.

9  Edit the RPLMGR.INI file to include information about the EtherExpress
   PRO/10 adapter.

   In the Configuration section of the RPLMGR.INI file, add these new
   sections for the EtherExpress PRO/10 adapter.
   
   [configuration]
   name = INTEL
   os = DOS500
   dirname = DOS
   dirname2 = DOS500
   bblink = RDOSIN
   fitfileshared = fits\DOS500
   comment = DOS 5.00 EtherExpress PRO card
   adapter = 00AA00??????

10 Copy the DOS NDIS driver from the disk
   (\MSLANMAN.DOS\DRIVERS\ETHERNET\EPRO\EPRO.DOS) to the
   C:\LANMAN\RPL\BBLOCK\NDIS directory.

11 Create the directory C:\LANMAN\RPL\BBLOCK\NETBEUI\EPRO. In this
   directory create a PROTOCOL.INI and a DOSBB.CNF file.  Make sure the
   EPRO_NIF and EPRO$ statements are capitalized.


   Example of the PROTOCOL.INI file
   --------------------------------
   
   [protman]
      drivername = protman$
      dynamic = yes
      priority = netbeui
   
   [netbeui]
      drivername = netbeui$
      bindings = EPRO_NIF
      names = 5
      ncbs = 8
      packets = 20
      pipeline = 10
      sessions = 4
      stacksize = 512
      lanabase = 0
   
   [EPRO_NIF]
      IOADDRESS = 0x300
      DRIVERNAME = EPRO$
      RPL

   Note: The IOADDRESS line should match the I/O address you chose for
         the EtherExpress PRO/10 adapter.

   Example of the DOSBB.CNF file
   -----------------------------
   
   ; DOS on INTEL ETHEREXPRESS
   RPL BBLOCK\RPLBOOT.SYS
   LDR BBLOCK\RPLSTART.COM ~
   DAT BBLOCK\NETBEUI\EPRO\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\EPRO.DOS ~ ~ ~
   DRV BBLOCK\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANMAN.DOS ~ M

   Note: You can copy the DOSBB.CNF file from the subdirectory of another
         network card then modify it to match this example.

12 Create this directory structure:

   C:\LANMAN\RPL\RPLFILES\MACHINES\INTEL\DEFAULT\WKSTA

   Copy the PROTOCOL.INI you created in the previous step to the WKSTA
   directory.

13 Update RPLMGR.
   
   -  Change to the C:\LANMAN\RPL and invoke RPLMGR.
   
   -  From the Remoteboot pulldown menu, choose New Profile.
   
   -  Enter Profile name, comment, and configuration.
   
   -  Profile Name:  INTEL
   
   -  Comment:  Your comment here
   
   -  Configuration: DOS500 EtherExpress card
   
      The configuration line should match the COMMENT line entry in the
      PLMRG.INI file.
   
   -  Select OK
   
   -  When disk activity stops, exit RPLMGR.

14 Start the REMOTEBOOT service by entering the NET START REMOTEBOOT at
   the OS/2 prompt.

   NOTE: After the RPL installation is complete, configure the server to
         automatically start the REMOTEBOOT service.

15 Install the EtherExpress PRO/10 adapter, and when the FlashStart main
   menu appears, select the NDIS boot rom.

16 The workstation will attach to the server and eventually return you to
   a "C:\" prompt.  The "C:\" is a virtual link to the
   C:\LANMAN\RPL\RPLFILES\MACHINES\INTEL\DEFAULT\WKSTA directory on the
   server.

   Note: The workstation has limited file permissions until the user
         executes a NET LOGON command.


Hints and Tips
--------------

1  Setting up a LAN Manager remote boot setup is an involved process.  If
   the RPL workstation does not find the server (example error message:
   Searching for a DLC RPL server), go back through each step and check
   the syntax, spelling, and directory structures.

2  Follow Microsoft's instructions in Chapter 13 of the "LAN Manager
   Administrator Guide" to configure personal or shared workstation
   profiles using RPLMGR.

  • 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.
