- GENERAL
- INFORMATION: The following FYI is a TECHQA from IBM LINK - IBM's
- online database.
-
- Title: 08/06/90 ENHANCED 80386 MEMORY EXPANSION OPTIONS
- IN NOVELL NETWARE SERVERS.
-
- Q: Two alternatives have been identified that support
- the IBM Enhanced 80386 Memory Expansion Options (2MB
- Kit j- PN 34F3077, FC 3077 and 4MB Kit - PN 34F3011,
- FC 3011) installed in Novell Netware 286 Servers!
-
- 1) Use the device driver (DOSMEMDD.SYS) provided on
- the Option Diskette to initialize the Enhanced
- 80386 Memory Expansion Option. Use of this
- device driver requires that Netware 286 be run as
- a nondedicated server and that the device driver
- be copied to the DOS partition and included in the
- CONFIG.SYS file in the DOS partition. In addition,
- the @FDDF.ADF file on the Refernce Diskette must be
- edited to delete the INITPROG statement. If the
- INITPROG statment is not deleted and SET
- CONFIGURATION is executed then the Novell Netware
- 286 boot record on Drive C will be destroyed!
-
- 2) Boot system from Option Diskette. A screen will
- appear that instructs the user to insert the
- Operating System diskette into Drive A and press
- any key to continue. Remove the Option Diskette
- from Drive A and press any key and the system will
- boot NetWare 286 from Drive C. Again, the
- @FDDF.ADF file on the Reference Diskette must be
- edited to delete the INITPROG statement or execution
- of SET CONFIGURATION will destroy the NetWare 286
- boot record on Drive C!
-
- In addition, please note that Novell NetWare 386 (unlike
- Netware 286) is fully compatible with the IBM Enhanced 386
- Memory Expansion Options without any of the above work
- arounds.
