The MSD NLM is installed on a NetWare 3.x or 4.x file server, although the boot image files
themselves may exist on any file server in the network.
Copy the file MSD NLM from the MBA Utility Disk or MBA subdirectory on the EtherCD to the
SYSTEM directory on the SYS: volume of the server that is used to load the MSD NLM.
The MSD NLM requires the following additional Novell NLMs:
AFTER311.NLM (on NetWare 3.x servers)
CLIB.NLM (must be version 3.12 or higher)
N

O O T T E E :
: If you are using NetWare 3.x you must load AFTER311.NLM before MSD.
CLIB.NLM is loaded automatically by MSD.
MSD is loaded using the LOAD command on the System Console on your NetWare server.
You must have access to the System Console screen of the server, either directly at the
server, or through RCONSOLE.

There are several command line parameters that can be specified when loading MSD:
Usage: msd <msd_name> [max=] [nodefault] [log]
options
[max=] - sets the maximum number of workstations which MSD will accept when
processing BOOTCONF.SYS. The default number is 512. Each entry requires about
100 bytes of server memory, so the more entries you allow, the more memory MSD
will require.
[nodefault] - tells MSD not to reply to any workstations that are found in the
BOOTCONF.SYS file
[log] - tells MSD to create a log file of all its activities
The first parameter specifies the unique name to be assigned to this instance of MSD; if no
name is specified, MSD assumes the name of the server on which it is running.
Add a line to your server AUTOEXEC.NCF to load MSD when the server is started. The
following are examples of valid MSD command lines:
load msd
Loads MSD, assumes the name of the server it is running on, and uses the default maximum
number of 512 workstation entries.
load msd main
Loads MSD, names it “main” and uses the default maximum number of 512 workstation
entries.
load msd main max=1024
Loads MSD, names it “main” and sets a maximum number of 1024 workstation entries.
load msd test log max=100 nodefault
Loads MSD, names it “test”, creates a status log file, sets a maximum of 100 workstation
entries, and tells MSD to use nodefault mode.
