The program "SETFIX.EXE" will correct the problem that has appeared on some
IBM Personal System/2 computers that loose the system configuration
information after NetWare has been installed and running on the system.

This program works on all versions of NetWare that run on the PS/2 models
50, 60 and 80.  Simply run this program against the respective linked
operating system. This must be the "NET$OS.EXE" file. If using a dedicated
file server, simply login to the system as the supervisor and copy this
program into the "SYS:SYSTEM" directory. This is the most convenient way to
modify 2.1 operating systems since the operating system is in two files
prior to installation. Before running the program, make sure that
"NET$OS.EXE" is set to  read/write prior to running.  This can be done with
"FLAG" or "FILER" utilities. To run the program, simply type: "SETFIX
NET$OS.EXE." The changes will be made to the file. If the file was being
modified in "SYS:SYSTEM" directory, set it back to the original attributes
of read only.

Now re-boot with the modified operating system.
