--------------------   The ND4300 Boot ROM  ----------------------

How to install the Novell RPL Server

 1. You must create a remote boot diskette. Copy the following files into
    this boot  diskette:
        COMMAND  COM
        IO       SYS   attrib -s -h io.sys
        MSDOS    SYS   attrib -s -h msdos.sys
        LSL      COM
        ND4300   COM
        IPXODI   COM
        NETX     EXE
        AUTOEXEC BAT
        CONFIG   SYS

     The AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains these lines :

        PATH H:\LOGIN;
        SET COMSPEC=H:\LOGIN\COMMAND.COM
           DOSKEY
           LSL
           ND4300
           IPXODI
           NETX

     The CONFIG.SYS file  contains these lines :

           DEVICE=A:\HIMEM.SYS
           STACKS=9,256
           DOS=HIGH,UMB
           FILES=30
           BUFFERS=30
           LASTDRIVE=G
           FCBS=16,8

 2. Boot a workstation with at least one floppy disk drive, and log in to
    the server as SUPERVISOR.

 3. Change directory to SYS:SYSTEM

 4. With the DOS boot diskette in driver A: execute the DOSGEN utility. This
    creates a DOS boot image file named NET$DOS.SYS.

 5. Copy NET$DOS.SYS to the SYS:LOGIN directory.

 6. Remoteboot different DOS image files by RPL server
    Create BOOTCONF.SYS in SYS:\LOGIN directory
    BOOTCONF.SYS format is

      0 x 00005A*         =   NE2000.SYS
      0 x 002018*         =   ND4300.SYS

         (Node number)   ND4300.SYS,NE2000.SYS renamed by NET$DOS.SYS file.
  Note:

     if have not BOOTCONF.SYS file or Node number is not match in BOOTCONF.SYS
     Node number , there will be boot default NET$DOS.SYS

 7. Copy RBOOT.RPL, ETHER.RPL to the SYS:LOGIN directory.

 8. Copy RPL.NLM to the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

  Note: It depends on file server's version.

        In the RPL developer's kit,

           for Netware 3.11,  use .\RPL\NLM\311\RPL.NLM;

           for Netware 3.12/4.x  use .\RPL\NLM\40\RPL.NLM;

 9. Edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file in the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

     For example:

          file server name FTEST
          ipx internal net 831123

          load NE2000 port=300 int=3 name=ftest_1 frame=ETHERNET_802.2
          load NE2000 port=300 int=3 name=ftest_2 frame=ETHERNET_II
          load NE2000 port=300 int=3 name=ftest_3 frame=ETHERNET_802.3
          load NE2000 port=300 int=3 name=ftest_4 frame=ETHERNET_Snap

          bind ipx to ftest_1 net=21
          bind ipx to ftest_2 net=22
          bind ipx to ftest_3 net=23
          bind ipx to ftest_4 net=24

          ; ---------- for RPL file server -----------------
          load rpl
          bind rpl to ftest_1
          ; ---------- for RPL file server -----------------

          mount all

          load pburst
          set NCP PACKET SIGNATURE OPTION = 1
          set immediate purge of deleted files=on
          load remote FRTSA
          load rspx
          load monitor

 10. Shutdown the file server, and reboot it.

 11. Configure the ND4300 PCI Card to "Boot ROM Enable".

 11. Now, when the file server is running, the workstation equipped with Boot
     ROM on the ND4300 card will be attached to the file server without any
     hard disk or floppy.
