TokenExpress: Installing Remote Boot PROMs with RPL - Novell NetWare
INSTALLING REMOTE BOOT PROMS WITH RPL - NETWARE
INSTALLING REMOTE BOOT PROMS WITH RPL - NETWARE
This file contains instructions specific for the installation and
operation of Intel's TokenExpress adapter driver. Refer to the
appropriate Network Operation System documentation for any NOS-specific
questions or other information.
These instructions apply to Release 5.0 of the software.
Installing the remote boot PROM on the TokenExpress adapter:
1. Follow the instructions in the manual which shipped with the remote
boot PROM.
2. Be careful to position the boot PROM correctly on the TokenExpress
adapter. After you have installed the boot PROM, check to make
sure none of the pins were bent.
3. Be aware of the Page Frame address, and the memory addresses of
other boards in your system before setting the RPL address
location.
Installing and Configuring the Intel TokenExpress adapter RPL Driver for
NetWare:
1. Configure the server so that your workstation can boot from the
network. You'll need the TokenExpress adapter driver diskette and
the installation manual for your version of NetWare to set up the
server. Insert the following line in the file server's AUTOEXEC.NCF
file:
load TOKENRPL
The following is a typical AUTOEXEC.NCF file:
file server name TR_TEST
ipx internal net 63965
load c:\net\octok161 slot=2 frame=TOKEN-RING name=seg1
bind ipx to seg1 net=100
load c:\net\octok161 slot=2 frame=TOKEN-RING_SNAP name=seg2
bind ipx to seg2 net=200
load TOKENRPL
load route <----- (Optional if using Source Routing)
set allow unencrypted passwords=ON
Note: The Intel TokenExpress EISA/32 adapter does not support
RPL when used in a workstation. The remaining installation steps
are followed when the workstation contains one of the other members
of Intel's family of TokenExpress adapters.
2. Create a bootable floppy disk. Copy the following files from the
NetWare WSGEN diskette to the bootable floppy disk.
LSL.COM
RPLODI.COM
ROUTE.COM (Optional, if using Source Routing)
IPXODI.COM
NETX.EXE
Note: The latest files are available from Novell on CompuServe
in the NETWIRE forum. Make sure you are using the latest versions.
3. Copy the following file from the TokenExpress driver diskette #1 to
the bootable floppy diskette:
OCTOK16.COM
4. Create an AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the bootable floppy disk which
contains the following lines:
prompt $p$g
lsl
rplodi
octok16
route (Optional if using Source Routing)
ipxodi
netx
5. Create a generic CONFIG.SYS file on the bootable floppy disk like
the one that was used during testing:
files=50
buffers=25
6. Without re-booting, from A:, type the following:
lsl
octok16
route (Optional if using Source Routing)
ipxodi
netx
f:
7. Login as SUPERVISOR to the server onto which you will build the DOS
Remote Boot image.
8. At the F:\LOGIN prompt, type the following:
f:\system\dosgen <ENTER>
9. At this point, all of the files on the bootable diskette in drive
A: will be read and a boot image file will be created in the \LOGIN
directory of the server you are currently logged into. The name of
this file will be NET$DOS.SYS
10.Copy the AUTOEXEC.BAT file from the disk in drive A: to the
F:\LOGIN directory.
Note: If you forget this step, you will receive a "Batch file
missing" error during the remote boot process.
11.Remove the bootable floppy diskette in the A: drive and re-boot the
workstation. The following screen will be displayed:
Intel TokenExpress FLASH RPL PROM for Novell & MS/IBM v1.12
Booting in 10 seconds with configuration:
Source : Local Disk
Press any key to change settings...
12.Strike any key and the following screen appears:
Intel TokenExpress FLASH RPL PROM for Novell & MS/IBM v1.12
Messages : Extended
Boot Delay : 10
Source : Local Disk
Use to move, to adjust, ESC to continue
13.Using the arrow keys, change the settings so that:
Source = Novell Network and Server = Name of the server which
contains the Boot Image.
The screen should now look like this:
Intel TokenExpressFLASH RPL PROM for Novell & MS/IBM v1.12
Messages : Extended
Boot Delay : 10
Source : Novell Network
Node : 005500nnnnnn
Server : Your Remote Boot Server
Use up and down arrows to move, left arrow to adjust, ESC to
continue
14.Press ESC to continue, then type "y" to make changes permanent.
15.Once the workstation boots and attaches to the server, you may log
into the network.
Note: For more information, refer to Appendix D of the NetWare
3.11 Installation manual. You will also find information here on
RPL using multiple boot images and the BOOTCONF.SYS file. There
are also detailed instructions in the manual that shipped with your
Remote Boot PROM.
