NINSTALL.EXE Limitation in NetWare Version 2.15, Revision C
NINSTALL.EXE is a utility that is called from NETGEN.EXE. The copy of
NINSTALL.EXE that comes with revision C of NetWare v2.15 has a limitation.
This limitation only affects existing systems that are being updated--it
does not affect first-time installations.
The initial NETGEN window asks the installer to choose either default or
custom configuration. If the installer selects the default configuration,
the file server will eventually hang as the installer progresses through
the menus. The default configuration cannot handle the disk driver upgrade
from the original AT disk driver to the newer ISA disk driver that is
included with revision C of NetWare v2.15.
NINSTALL.EXE has been updated and is now available on NetWire. The update
will resolve the problem described above. The file size is 145,385 bytes
and is dated 10/4/89.
If you are unable to get this file from NetWire, you can use the custom
configuration option to work around the limitation. You must also answer
"Yes" when the option to "Fix Master System Table" option appears. If you
answer "No," no installation will occur.
If you encounter this limitation, you will need to reset your machine,
restart NETGEN.EXE, and select the "custom configuration" option.
