To install Boot Image Editor, see “
Boot Image Editor Installation
” in Chapter 2 “Installing
MBA.”
2.
If you are using Windows 3.x and loading EMM386 in CONFIG.SYS, be sure to add the
“/y=” option to define the network path where EMM386.EXE is located. If your NIC has a
memory-mapped RAM region, be sure to exclude this region from your memory
manager.
3.
In AUTOEXEC.BAT, ensure that RPLODI.COM is loaded immediately after LSL.COM (if
using the Boot Image Editor Loader option, RPLODI is not required).
4.
If you are supporting more than one boot image, rename AUTOEXEC.BAT to a different
name, and create a new AUTOEXEC.BAT that contains only this unique .BAT file name.
This avoids problems with sharing the same AUTOEXEC.BAT in the LOGIN directory.
5.
In the .BAT file that invokes the network shell such as VLM.EXE or Client32, add the
following statements just before VLM:
set path=
set comspec=x:command.com
where X: is the drive letter that is later mapped to the DOS directory by the PC. Do
not place a backslash after the drive letter (X:)
Avoid explicit references to drive A: anywhere within the boot diskette.
6.
Using Boot Image Editor (located on the MBA Utility Disk or MBA subdirectory on the
EtherCD), or Novell's DOSGEN.EXE, create a boot image file in the SYS:LOGIN directory.
If using DOSGEN, copy the .BAT file that invokes the network shell from the diskette to
the SYS:LOGIN directory.
Step 2 - Add PC information to BOOTCONF.SYS
Skip this step if all PCs are sharing the same NET$DOS.SYS boot image file:
In the SYS:LOGIN directory, either create a BOOTCONF.SYS file or edit the existing
one. If using the MSD NLM option, you must use BOOTEDIT to edit BOOTCONF.SYS.
BOOTEDIT is easy to use and helps you avoid syntax and sorting problems in the
BOOTCONF.SYS file.
Step 3 - Verify the PC boots correctly
1.
Boot the PC, noting whether the desired file server and boot image file are being
accessed.
2.
If the PC has problems booting, follow the detailed steps provided in the following
section. If problems persist, read the “
Application Notes
” and “
Troubleshooting
” sections
at the end of this chapter.
