NS0784 NFS failed file 'kernel.Z' not found

Ignore this message.

If you get a blue screen with the Console window, something has been set up incorrectly. Check the 

Configuration Directory

 settings using F5 on the Setup Utility. If you are still having problems, 

see the 

Troubleshooting

 section below. 

Booting Using DHCP

There is no DHCP option to pass the 

Third Boot Host

 parameter which is what the ICA client uses 

to determine which MetaFrame, WinFrame, or WinCenter server to connect to. You must set this 
value NVRAM. Set up the Network Station as described above for NVRAM booting, then from the 

F3 = Set Network Parameters 

menu choose DHCP. 

There is also no option to pass in the 

Configuration File

 value. Again, you must set this option 

(

flash.nsm

flashlb.nsm

flashbc.nsm

peer.nsm

peerlb.nsm

, or 

peerbc.nsm

) directly in 

NVRAM. 

DHCP provides a Network Station that boots from the QuickOn for Running Windows flash card 
with an IP address and other limited DHCP options. These DHCP options, when entered correctly, do 
not interfere with QuickOn for Running Windows. These options include: 

l

Option 1: Subnet Mask 

l

Option 3: Router 

l

Option 6: DNS Server 

l

Option 15: Default Domain 

Do not set any other options at the MAC, Class, Subnet, or System level for a Network Station that 
boots from the QuickOn for Running Windows flash card. 

Peer Booting Using DHCP

If you choose to peer boot your Network Stations and if you use DHCP, the Network Station(s) with 
the QuickOn for Running Windows flash card must have fixed IP address(es). 

Set up the Network Stations and the DHCP server as described above in Booting Using DHCP. For 
the peer booting Network Stations, you must also add DHCP Option 66, TFTP Server, with the IP 
Address of the Network Station with the flash card. 

If you have multiple Network Stations with flash cards in a given subnet, you have two choices. You 
may define Option 66 at the MAC level for every Network Station, or you may create multiple scopes 
in a given subnet, and group the scopes.
