- Subject: PROMPT Command Booting Non-Dedicated

-
- PROBLEM: There is a problem booting a non-dedicated file server with
- the following AUTOEXEC.BAT:
-
- NET$OS
- Prompt $p$g
- Net3
- F:
- Login
-
- The problem is the placement of the PROMPT command. Placing
- this after the NET$OS causes the DOS environment to be
- messed up. For example: search maps lost, paths changed,
- COMSPEC lost, etc.
-
- SOLUTION: Use the following AUTOEXEC.BAT instead:
-
- NET$OS
- Net3
- F:
- Prompt $p$g
- Login
-
- Booting up in this order fixes the problem.
