Title: IBM PC Compatibility with Remote Reset Boot EPROMs
Prior to Advanced NetWare version 2.0, the Remote System Reset
feature was only supported on IBM brand PC workstations. Because
of some changes that were made to the code in the Advanced
NetWare Remote Reset Boot EPROMs versions 2.0 and above, some
IBM PC compatible machines can now be used as workstations with
the Remote System Reset feature.
The ROM BIOS requirements for the Remote System Reset feature in
IBM PC compatibles are as follows:
1.When the PC is powered up, the BIOS must search the
User ROM Address Area. If a User ROM is found, the
BIOS then must make a subroutine call on the User ROM
(CS:03). A return to the BIOS will be made from the User
ROM. See the IBM Technical Reference Manual for a
detailed description of the User ROM area and
specifications.
2.After the BIOS finishes all its initialization and its
diagnostics, it must execute an INT 19h instruction (Boot
Strap Loader).
For information concerning your ROM BIOS, contact your PC
supplier/manufacturer to confirm whether your PC supports
these features.
Limited testing at Novell indicates that the Compaq PC portables, the
Sperry PC, the Santa Clara PC terminal, and the PC Solutions PC will
work with Advanced NetWare Remote Reset Boot EPROMs versions 2.0
and above.
