Appendix A Quick Boot Installation Guide 27
Note: You will use this information when you create the
BOOTCONF.SYS file.
3. Copy the renamed .BAT file from the bootable diskette into the
SYS:LOGIN directory and the default directory which is specified
in the login script. Normally the default directory is the user’s home
directory. If the default directory is SYS:LOGIN, you have already
completed this step.
Caution: You may get a message such as “batch file missing”
error if the AUTOEXEC.BAT is not copied to both the
SYS:LOGIN and the default directory.
4. Create a new AUTOEXEC.BAT file on each bootable diskette to
execute the renamed batch file. Using a DOS text editor, create an
AUTOEXEC.BAT file similar to the following: e.g. called Vicky
5. Run DOSGEN (DOS Remote Image File GENeration) and indicate
the new name for the image file. For example :
F:\LOGIN>\SYSTEM\DOSGEN A: Vicky.SYS<enter>
Record the network number and the node address of the workstation
that will use the remote boot image file you have just created.
e.g. Vicky.SYS: Network#=DOC20 Node=5a003b77
6. Create the BOOTCONF.SYS file in SYS:LOGIN. If the file server
has got a BOOTCONF.SYS file in SYS:LOGIN, you can’t create
another one. Add the new entries to the existing file through your
DOS text editor. The remote boot image file you have just created,
should use an entry format containing the following:
0x (the number 0 plus x)
The network address
A comma (,)
The node or station address
An equal sign (=)
The boot disk image filename
e.g. 0xDOC20,5a003b77=Vicky.SYS
