1  INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOOTROM

1.1  General

This  is  the general purpose bootrom. This bootrom allows remote
boot from a Novell Netware server supporting RPL,  Microsoft  LAN
Manager  Server,  Microsoft Windows NT Server and IBM LAN Server.
This file can be burned into a PROM and the PROM can be  used  to
remote  boot  from  one of the servers listed above. All the Boot
PROM files here are in the Absolute Binary Format.

The bootrom code will give the user an option to select from  the
several servers during the boot process or to boot from the first
server  found  on the network. If no selection made, in 5 seconds
boot process is started (for the systems without  monitor  and/or
keyboard).

Bootrom code is based on Novell LanKit 3.02 RPL code. In addition
to  multi-server  support,  the  code  is modified to include PCI
optional RPL header. Plug'n Play cards are supported as a  legacy
RPL devices


1.2  Original Boot PROM Code

The  original  Boot  PROM  code, with the PCI optional RPL header
included, is stored with the file name NETROM.ORG.

NOTE! EtherTeam PCI does not yet contain Flash PROM support.


1.3  Boot PROM For EtherTeam ISA

The PCI optional RPL header may cause problems with some PCI BIOS
implementations. Because of that, there is another Boot PROM file
NETROM.ISA to be used for EtherTeam ISA cards. This file does not
contain the PCI optional RPL header.

1.4  Files

This directory has the following contents:

  - README.TXT  This readme file.
  - NETROM.ORG  The Boot PROM code including PCI Header.
  - NETROM.ISA  The Boot PROM code without PCI Header.
  - NETROM.BIN  Is equivalent to NETROM.ISA file.
