   How to install the Novell RPL server




How to install the Novell RPL Server
------------------------------------

  1. You must create a remote boot diskette. The files on this boot diskette,
     for example, are the following:
        COMMAND  COM
        LSL      COM
        W30ODI   COM
        IPXODI   COM
        NETX     EXE
        AUTOEXEC BAT

     The AUTOEXEC.BAT file must contain these lines :
           LSL
           W30ODI
           IPXODI
           NETX

  2. Boot a workstation with at least one floppy disk drive, and log in to
     the server as SUPERVISOR.

  3. Change directory to SYS:SYSTEM

  4. With the DOS boot diskette in driver A: execute the DOSGEN utility. This
     creates a DOS boot image file named NET$DOS.SYS.

  5. Copy NET$DOS.SYS to the SYS:LOGIN directory.

  6. Copy RBOOT.RPL, ETHER.RPL to the SYS:LOGIN directory.

  7. Copy RPL.NLM to the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

     Note: It depends on file server's version.

           In the RPL developer's kit,

           for Netware 3.11,  use .\RPL\NLM\311\RPL.NLM;

           for Netware 3.12/4.x  use .\RPL\NLM\40\RPL.NLM;

  8. Edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file in the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

     For example:

          file server name FTEST
          ipx internal net 831123

          load NE2000 port=300 int=3 name=ftest_1 frame=ETHERNET_802.2
          load NE2000 port=300 int=3 name=ftest_2 frame=ETHERNET_II
          load NE2000 port=300 int=3 name=ftest_3 frame=ETHERNET_802.3
          load NE2000 port=300 int=3 name=ftest_4 frame=ETHERNET_Snap

          bind ipx to ftest_1 net=21
          bind ipx to ftest_2 net=22
          bind ipx to ftest_3 net=23
          bind ipx to ftest_4 net=24

          ; ---------- for RPL file server -----------------
          load rpl
          bind rpl to ftest_1
          ; ---------- for RPL file server -----------------

          mount all

          load monitor

  9. Shutdown the file server, and reboot it.

 10. Using EZPCI.EXE program to configure the PCI Ethernet Card to Boot ROM
     Enable.

 11. Reboot the workstation.

 12. Now, when the file server is running, the workstation equipped with Boot
     ROM on the PCI Ethernet Card will be attached to the file server without
     any hard disk or floppy.
