Installation Guide for Remote Boot PROM ============================================= Introduction ============ There are two kinds of Remote Boot PROM used with NetWare networks. The two types are referred to as follows: . IPX Boot PROM . ODI Boot PROM It is important that you should know the type of Remote Boot PROM you are using. Some procedures for setting up remote booting on your PC are specific to the type of Remote Boot PROM you are using. For more information about the Remote Boot PROM you are using, please refer to your dealler.

Installation Procedures ======================= A. IPX Boot PROM installation procedures : 1. Make a bootable diskette, place that diskette into floppy driver A. 2. Copy the required files to that diskette, for example, "HIMEM.SYS", "EMM386.EXE", "SETVER.EXE", "COMMAND.COM" .... 3. Copy "IPX.COM" and "NETX.COM" files to that diskette. 4. Create "AUTOEXEC.BAT" and "CONFIG.SYS" files. 5. Login NetWare as supervisor. 6. Execute following commands : MAP G:=SYS:SYSTEM MAP F:=SYS:LOGIN 7. Change to the F drive, then Execute following command : G:DOSGEN 8. If your DOS version is 5.0 or higher, execute following command : RPLFIX NET$DOS.SYS 9. Copy "AUTOEXEC.BAT" file from the boot disk to the LOGIN directory. 10. Turn on the diskless computer. --- Sample CONFIG.SYS file --- : DEVICE=SETVER.EXE LASTDRIVE=E : --- Sample AUTOEXEC.BAT file --- : IPX NETX F:LOGIN : B. ODI Boot PROM installation procedures : 1. Make a bootable diskette, place that diskette into floppy driver A. 2. Copy the required files to that diskette, for example, "HIMEM.SYS", "EMM386.EXE", "COMMAND.COM" .... 3. Copy "LSL.COM", "PNPODI.COM", "IPXODI.COM", "VLM.EXE" and all VLM files to that diskette. 4. Create "AUTOEXEC.BAT", "CONFIG.SYS" and "NET.CFG" files. 5. Login NetWare as supervisor. 6. Execute following commands : MAP G:=SYS:SYSTEM MAP F:=SYS:LOGIN 7. Change to the F drive, then Execute following command : G:DOSGEN 8. If your DOS version is 5.0 or higher, execute following command : RPLFIX NET$DOS.SYS 9. Copy "AUTOEXEC.BAT" file from the boot disk to the LOGIN directory. 10.
