# Configuring the remote booting feature

You can configure remote booting by creating a file called REMBOOT.CFG on the REMBOOT disk

The configuration options are listed below. Type any comments you wish to include, after a semi-colon.

server_name=<server>
This option applies to Netware Remote Reset only. By default, REMBOOT attempts to remote boot from the first server that it finds. Use this option to specify a particular server.

image_name=<image>
This option applies to Netware Remote Reset only. By default, MadgeBoot looks for the image NET$DOS.SYS. If you wish to specify another image, use this option.

irq=<interrupt>
This option only applies to Ringnodes whose interrupts are software configured. If your Ringnode's interrupt setting conflicts with the interrupt being used by another device, use this option to alter the Ringnode's setting.

direct_boot=<booting scheme>
If you want your computer to remote boot directly without displaying the menu, use this option. The booting schemes you can specify are either:
NetWare Remote Reset:
direct_boot=nw
or:
Remote Program Load:
direct_boot=rpl

card_services=yes
To load MADGECS, by default, when you are remote booting a computer that contains a PCMCIA Ringnode, use this option. Alternatively, select the Madge Card Services option from the menu.
The effect of using this configuration option, or of selecting Madge Card Services when you run MadgeBoot, is to load the MADGECS software and, thereby, to enable the PCMCIA controller inside the computer.
Once your Ringnode has initialized, MadgeBoot de-installs the MADGECS software. Choose whether you want to use standard Card and Socket Services software afterwards, or to load MADGECS again. For more information about MADGECS, refer to the MADGECS.TXT file.
MADGECS will not load on a non-PCMCIA computer.

enable_pnp=yes
Use this option to cause the Plug 'n' Play software to run, by default, when you are remote booting, or select from the menu.
This ensures that your adapter is enabled and configured.
