Solution:

The simpliest way to test Remote Boot is to use the old (Novell IPX Remote Boot ROM) not RPL Boot ROM. Because you don't have to install the RPL server. You can use Advantech OA server to remote boot your PC. SVEC.ROM is Novell IPX Remote Boot ROM from SVEC. How to make the Remote Boot Image file? Prepare all the boot files, include COMMAND.COM, AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, LSL, NLM ... Use DOSGEN utility upload the boot files into a remote boot image file. The Novell Remote Boot Image file should be in server's SYS:LOGIN directory. File name NET$DOS.SYS, File type should be read only, share. For Advantech Novell OA Server, the following is the Boot Image File Configuration: IRQ 5 IO Address 320 Using Multiple Remote Boot Image Files If you want more than one Remote Boot Image Files onf the Novell Server, you must do the following: 1. Upload multiple remote boot image files for each station into SYS:LOGIN. Upload a separate remote boot image file for each workstation. Name the image files for each user (FRED.SYS for user FRED, JANE.SYS for user JANE, etc.). 2. In the LOGIN directory, create a BOOTCONF.SYS file, which is a DOS text file that identifies the following for each station's network board: IPX external network number Node number Remote boot image filename (FRED.SYS, JANE.SYS, etc.) How to get the IPX external network number? A: User USERLIST /A Command BOOTCONF.SYS Example: 0x5555,C06C733507=ncsa.sys 0x5555,C06C690813=ncsa.sys 0x5555,C06C733744=ncsa.sys Please use the utility software or change the jumper to setup the above requirement. The following is the procedure to change your Boot ROM. 1. To show the Boot ROM start address >CBROM 45BV201.BIN /D 2. To load the SVEC Boot ROM. >CBROM 45BV201.BIN /other 1C00:0 SVEC.ROM 3. Write into BIOS >AWDFLASH 45BV201.BIN (P.S. SVEC Boot ROM is not a freeware, customer must buy from SVEC)
