-------------------- The LE8029R Boot ROM ---------------------- How to install the Novell RPL Server 1. You must create a remote boot diskette. The files on this boot diskette, for example, are the following: COMMAND COM LSL COM LE8029 COM IPXODI COM NETX EXE AUTOEXEC BAT The AUTOEXEC.BAT file must contain these lines : LSL LE8029 IPXODI NETX 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. Copy RBOOT.RPL to the SYS:LOGIN directory. 7. 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 .\BOOTROM\311\RPL.NLM; for Netware 3.12/4.x use .\BOOTROM\4x\RPL.NLM; 8. 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 ;Frame=ETHERNET_802.2 ; ---------- for RPL file server ----------------- mount all set immediate purge of deleted files=on load monitor 9. Shutdown the file server, and reboot it. 10. Configure the LE8029R to "Boot ROM Enable". 11. Reboot the workstation, remember to run CMOS setup. Let any drive (C or D, A, B) setting to be "Not installed". 12. Now, when the file server is running, the workstation equipped with Boot ROM on the LE8029R card will be attached to the file server without any hard disk or floppy.
