This section explains how to configure the NetWare 3.x and 4.x server to support
remote start of an HP PC with an HP Ethernet Family Adapter.
Installing the Remote
Boot Services on the
Server
To install the remote boot services on the NetWare 3.x and 4.x server, you need the
following files:
❒
RPL.NLM. This is a NetWare loadable module. It acts as a protocol stack, as
defined in the
IBM Remote Program Load User's Guide . It is used on networks
that have diskless workstations installed.
RPL.NLM will respond to the following frames:
FIND RPL.NLM will respond with a FOUND
frame.
SEND.FILE.REQUEST RPL.NLM will respond with a
FILE.DATA.RESPONSE frame.
❒
RBOOT.RPL. This is the bootstrap program for LAN adapters using the Novell
ROM kit which is used by the remote start program in HP PCs equipped with the
HP Ethernet Family Adapter).
❒
BOOTCONF.SYS. An ASCII text file that can be used to specify the Boot Image
file used by a workstation.
You should use the RPL.NLM and RBOOT.RPL files supplied on the Novell diskettes.
(If you don't have these files, use the RPL.NLM and RBOOT.RPL files supplied on
the LAN Disk, in the subdirectory
\RPL\NOVRPL\
).
You must create the BOOTCONF.SYS file using the procedure described in “How to
Create the BOOTCONF.SYS File” on page 90 .
RPL.NLM should be installed in the SYS:SYSTEM directory of the file server.
RBOOT.RPL and BOOTCONF.SYS should be installed in the SYS:LOGIN directory
on the server.
