       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.
