Remote Boot to Windows NT Server

Install the NT RPL Server
-------------------------
1. Install the Remoteboot Service on the NT Server

1.1 Choose Control Panel, Network, Add Software, Remoteboot Service,
    put NT server CD or disk, to install Remoteboot Service.

Note:
    To install RPL server, you must install DLC & Netbeui protocols in your
    NT server first.

2. Install MS-DOS files for Remoteboot workstation.

    copy all the MS-DOS 6.22 files to
        ----->\\systemroot\rpl\rplfiles\binfiles\dos622
    copy c:\dos\*.* \\systemroot\rpl\rplfiles\binfiles\dos622
    attrib -s -h c:\io.sys
    attrib -s -h c:\msdos.sys
    copy c:\io.sys \\systemroot\rpl\rplfiles\binfiles\dos622
    copy c:\msdos.sys \\systemroot\rpl\rplfiles\binfiles\dos622
    copy c:\command.com \\systemroot\rpl\rplfiles\binfiles\dos622
    attrib +s +h c:\io.sys
    attrib +s +h c:\msdos.sys

3. Create Remoteboot configuration for new adapter

3.1 Copy the MS-DOS device driver(NDIS2) for the Ethernet adapter to the
    \\systemroot\rpl\bblock\ndis directory.
    for example: MXNICF.DOS NDIS2 driver for the PRO120(A) Adapter

3.2 Create the directory \\systemroot\rpl\bblock\netbeui\pci and create
    pci.cnf, protocol.ini files in this directory. The temperates for
    pci.cnf & protocol.ini are storeed at the \Bootrom directory in this driver
    diskette.

Sample for PCI.CNF:

; DOS on PCI Ethernet
BASE D0H
RPL BBLOCK\RPLBOOT.SYS
LDR BBLOCK\RPLSTART.COM ~
DAT BBLOCK\NETBEUI\PCI\PROTOCOL.INI          ;must match with 3.2 setting
DRV BBLOCK\RPLDISK.SYS ~ ~ ~
EXE BBLOCK\RPLPRO1.COM ~ 2 ~
EXE BBLOCK\I13.COM ~ ~ ~
EXE BBLOCK\RPLBIND2.EXE ~ ~
EXE BBLOCK\PROTMAN.EXE ~ ~
EXE BBLOCK\RPLBIND1.EXE ~ ~
;DRV BBLOCK\IPXNDIS.DOS ~ ~ ~
;DRV BBLOCK\TCPDRV.DOS /I:C:\LANMAN.DOS ~ ~
EXE BBLOCK\NETBEUI\NETBEUI.EXE ~ 10 ~
DRV BBLOCK\NDIS\MXNICF.DOS ~ ~ ~             ;must match with driver
DRV BBLOCK\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\LANMAN.DOS ~ M


Sample for PROTOCOL.INI:

[protman]
  drivername = protman$
  dynamic = yes
  priority = netbeui

[netbeui_xif]
  drivername = netbeui$
  bindings = pci_nif
  names = 6
  ncbs = 12
  packets = 20
  pipeline = 10
  sessions = 6
  stacksize = 512
  lanabase = 0

[xnsnb_xif]
  drivername = xnsnb$
  bindings = pci_nif
  load = xnsnb[cbr]
  lanabase = 1

[xnstp_xif]
  drivername = xnstp$
  bindings = pci_nif
  load = xnstp[ub]
  lanabase = 1

[tcpip_xif]
  drivername = TCPIP$
  disabledhcp = (TCPIP_NO_DHCP)
  ipaddress0 = (TCPIP_ADDRESS)
  subnetmask0 = (TCPIP_SUBMASK)
  defaultgateway0 = (TCPIP_GATEWAY)
  tcpsegmentsize = 1450
  tcpwindowsize = 1450
  nbsessions = 6
  load = tcptsr[c],tinyrfc[c],emsbfr[cr]
  unload = "unloadt /notsr[dc]"
  bindings = pci_nif
  lanabase = 1

[ipx_xif]
  drivername = ipx$
  load = ipxmark[u],ipx[u]
  unload = ipxrel[c]
  bindings = pci_nif
  lanabase = 1

[msdlc_xif]
  drivername = msdlc$
  bindings = pci_nif
  load = msdlc[ub]
  unload = msdlc[u]

[pci_nif]
  drivername = MXNICF$           ;must match with driver

3.3 Use Rplcmd utility to add a bblock record for new adapter
    Under MS-DOS Prompt, type <1> Net Start RemoteBoot
                              <2> Rplcmd
3.4 You must follow the direction displayed on the screen
    Adapter Boot Config Profile Service Vendor Wksta [Quit] V
    Add Del Enum: A
    VendorName=xxxxxx(The first three Ethernet ID)
    Vendor Comment=

    Adapter Boot Config Profile Service Vendor Wksta [Quit] B
    Add Del Enum: A
    BootName=Dosx
    VendorName=xxxxxx(The first three Ethernet ID)
    BbcFile=Bblock\netbeui\Pci\Pci.cnf
    BootComment=Name of this Adapter
    WindowsSize=0

    Adapter Boot Config Profile Service Vendor Wksta [Quit] C
    Add Del Enum: A
    ConfigName=Dos622x
    BootName=Dosx
    DirName=Dos
    DirName2=Dos622
    FitShared=Fits\Dos622.fit
    FitPersonal=Fits\Dos622p.fit
    ConfigComment=Dos 6.22 <Adapter name>
    DirName3=
    DirName4=

3.5 Shutdown Windows NT Server, and reboot it

4.  Login to NT server as Administrator.

5.  Start RemoteBoot Service and Remoteboot manager

5.1 Under MS-DOS Prompt , type "Net Start Remoteboot"

5.2 In Network administrator, Remoteboot Manager
  1. Choose Remoteboot, New Profile, to create and PCI Profile Name
  2. Add new workstation for this Ethernet Adapter and choose PCI
     Profile file.

Note:
  If the Node ID of Workstation does not match with your profile file,
  you can use "Convert Adapters" in Remoteboot menu of Remoteboot
  Manager to configure or create the Profile file.
