- ETHERNET REMOTE PROGRAM LOAD
-
- Use ETHERRPL to enable remote booting of workstations (mostly diskless) that
- have Ethernet network boards installed with IBM RPL style bootroms.
-
- Command format
-
- LOAD [path]ETHERRPL
-
- Command parameters
-
- Replace path with a full directory path to the directory containing the
- module; begin with a DOS drive letter or a NetWare volume name. If you do
- not specify a path and the SYS volume is mounted, the operating system
- assumes that the loadable module is located in the SYS:SYSTEM directory.
- (Use SEARCH to set up additional paths for automatic searching.)
-
- Additional information
-
- To remotely boot a diskless Ethernet workstation, you must complete the
- following:
-
- ■ Load ETHERRPL.
-
- ■ Configure the workstation boot files for remote booting. Follow the
- DOSGEN instructions in Appendix D of the NetWare 386 Installation
- manual.
