How to Create the
BOOTCONF.SYS File
Several Boot Images can coexist on the server. Each Boot Image can be renamed
differently to NET$DOS.SYS and can be linked to a MAC address. This relationship
is made by creating a BOOTCONF.SYS file.
When RPL.NLM loads, it searches in the SYS:LOGIN directory of the file server for a
BOOTCONF.SYS file.
Creating the BOOTCONF.SYS file:
1 Determine the MAC address of each Vectra PC.
•
For the HP Ethernet Family Adapter, reboot the PC and press when
Setup=F2
appears.
•
For other Vectra PCs, run a diagnostic program on the client Vectra to identify
the MAC address.
2 Start the Administrator Workstation.
3 Log onto the LAN as
SUPERVISOR
.
4 Make the Boot Images you want to use as described in the section entitled “How
to Create a Boot Image” previously in this document. Rename the Boot Image file
for each bootable diskette.
5 Create or modify the BOOTCONF.SYS file using an ASCII editor. (The syntax of
the BOOTCONF.SYS file is described earlier in this document)
6 When all the Boot Image and BOOTCONF.SYS files are ready, make the SYS files
in SYS:LOGIN shareable by typing:
FLAG *.SYS S
7 If required, give the Modify capability to the remote start user in SYS:LOGIN by
typing:
GRANT M TO username
