1.0 Introduction
In order to complete across-the-wire installations of
NetWare 5x or later servers, create a boot diskette containing
the IP Server Connection Utility. This utility provides a
basic connection in an IP-only environment to complete an
across-the-wire server installation.
Important: This utility is not a full-functioning client
and is not intended to be used as a network client.
2.0 Creating a Boot Diskette
To create a bootable diskette, complete the following steps.
1. Make sure you have access to the files located on the Novell
Client CD-ROM in the Products/SRVRINST directory.
2. Format a 1.44MB high density diskette with the system
files by entering the following at the DOS prompt:
FORMAT A: /S
3. Copy HIMEM.SYS from the DOS version used to format the disk.
4. Copy the entire contents from the PRODUCTS\SRVRINST\DISK
directory onto the diskette.
5. In a text editor, create a CONFIG.SYS file on the
diskette that includes the following command to load
HIMEM.SYS
A sample CONFIG.SYS would be
DEVICE=A:\himem.sys /testmem:off
FILES=40
BUFFERS=40
LASTDRIVE=Z
STACKS=9,256
NOTE: You will only be able to copy four or five LAN
drivers due to space restrictions. Choose the drivers
you frequently use. A boot disk using MS-DOS 6.22
will have more free space than boot disks based on later
versions of DOS.
6. In a text editor, create a NET.CFG file on the diskette
and set the following:
a. Make sure the BIND command reflects the LAN driver,
preferred server, and name context you are using
b. Add File Cache Level = 0 to the NetWare Dos Requester
section. This setting prevents any memory from being
allocated to file cache.
c. Add Preferred Server = <servername> or Preferred
Server = <IP address> to the NetWare Dos Requester
section.
d. Remove any lines that reference IPX or frame types
except Ethernet_II.
See Section 3.0 for a sample NET.CFG file.
7. In a text editor, create an AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the
diskette with the following settings:
LOAD A:\NIOS.EXE
LOAD A:\NBIC32.NLM
LOAD A:\LSLC32.NLM
LOAD A:\CMSM.NLM
LOAD A:\ETHERTSM.NLM
LOAD A:\<Network Card Driver>.LAN FRAME=Ethernet_II
LOAD A:\TCPIP.NLM
LOAD A:\TRANNTA.NLM
LOAD A:\SRVLOC.NLM
LOAD A:\CLIENT32.NLM
A sample AUTOEXEC.BAT with a 3C90X Network Card would be
@echo off
path=A:\;%PATH%
SET NWLANGUAGE=ENGLISH
PROMPT $P$G
NIOS.EXE
LOAD NBIC32.NLM
LOAD LSLC32.NLM
LOAD CMSM.NLM
LOAD ETHERTSM.NLM
LOAD 3C90X.LAN FRAME=ETHERNET_II
LOAD TCPIP.NLM
LOAD TRANNTA.NLM
LOAD SRVLOC.NLM
LOAD CLIENT32.NLM
f:
You can boot from this diskette and login to the network in an
IP-only environment to complete an across-the-wire server
installation.
Important: A warning message may appear during an across-the-wire
server installation ("Pseudo module CONNMAN did not free one or
more resources before being destroyed"). Press control+enter to
close the message and continue the server installation.
You can also add the following lines the NET.CFG to automatically
remove the message after it appears:
NetWare DOS Requester
MESSAGE TIMEOUT = 1
Novell is investigating this issue and will issue an update when a
solution becomes available.
