Remote booting from IBM LAN Server version 3.0 or version 2.0 for DOS workstations

Before reading this section, follow the instructions for installing DOS RIPL in the IBM LAN Server Network Administrators Reference Planning and Installation manual.

You have a choice between using Smart NetBIOS or an IBM-compatible DOS NDIS driver (MDGND.DOS) on your remote-booted DOS workstations. We recommend Smart NetBIOS. This gives you extra DOS memory savings by enabling you to avoid loading IBM's DXMA0MOD.SYS and DXMJ0MOD.SYS files.

Remote booting DOS using NDIS

Remote booting DOS using Smart NetBIOS

1 Create a directory called C:\IBMLAN\DOSLAN\MADGE.

2 Copy all the Smart II Software files from the Madge release disk to C:\IBMLAN\DOSLAN\MADGE.

3 Copy the file TERMRPL.EXE from Madge release disk 1 into the directory C:\IBMLAN\DOSLAN\NET.

4 In the directory C:\IBMLAN\DOSLAN\MADGE, edit SMART.CFG to look like the example below (a ";" indicates a comment).

[HOST]
FORCELOAD	; Ensure Smart loads onto the adapter.
SRPL30    	; Support for LAN Server version 3.0
; SRPL20	; Support for LAN Server version 2.0

[CARD]
[NETB]
; [IPX]	; Support for NetWare connectivity
; [LLC]	; Support for IBM Host connectivity

5 Open a DOS box and go to C:\IBMLAN\DOSLAN\MADGE.

6 Run SMTNETB.BAT to generate a SMTNETB.EXE file.

7 Stop the RemoteBoot service (if it is running) by using either the

NET STOP RPL command or the LAN Requester full-screen interface.

8 Go to the directory C:\IBMLAN\RPL.

9 Make a copy of the file DOSNDTR.CNF and call it DOSBBSMT.CNF.

10 Edit DOSBBSMT.CNF so that it looks like the example below.

	; DOS Boot Block for Madge Smart Ringnodes
	; SMART NETBIOS version

	BASE 7C0H
	RPL DOS\RPLBOOT.SYS
	LDR DOS\RPLLOADR.COM ~
	DAT DOS\LT2.MSG
	EXE C:\IBMLAN\DOSLAN\MADGE\SMTNETB.EXE ~ ~ ~

11 Edit the RPL.MAP file and add the following line into the section for server record entries (note that the line has wrapped but that it includes no carriage returns).

yyyyyyyyyyyy DOSBBSMT.CNF 3 10 N IBMLAN$

DOS~MADGE~SMART ~ ~ ,,, Z R_MDGSMT ~ ~

12 Go to the directory C:\IBMLAN\DOSLAN\NET and edit the file XSRW1.BAT. Change the line:

%PCLPXS%\RPLTERM

to:

%PCLPXS%\TERMRPL S3.0 or (for LAN Server version 2.0):

%PCLPXS%\TERMRPL S2.0

13 Start the RemoteBoot service by using either the NET START RPL command or the LAN Requester full-screen interface.

You can now create, update, or delete DOS RIPL Requester definitions for your workstations by using the LAN Requester full-screen interface. (From the menu bar, select Manage Machine Parameters.) For more information, refer to the LAN Server Network Adminstrator Reference manuals. When you are creating a DOS RIPL Requester definition, use R_MDGSMT as the Server Record Indentifier.

Remote booting DOS using NDIS

1 Copy the file MDGND.DOS from the Madge release disk to C:\IBMLAN\RPL\DOS.

2 Stop the RemoteBoot service (if it is running) by using either the

NET STOP RPL command or the LAN Requester full-screen interface.

3 Go to the directory C:\IBMLAN\RPL.

4 Make a copy of the file DOSNDTR.CNF and call it DOSBBMG.CNF.

5 Edit DOSBBMG.CNF so that it looks like the example below.

; DOS Boot Block for Madge SMART Ringnodes
; MDGND.DOS
BASE 7C0H
RPL DOS\RPLBOOT.SYS
LDR DOS\RPLLOADR.COM ~
DAT DOS\LT2.MSG
DAT  C:\IBMLAN\DOSLAN\LSP\DXM.MSG
DAT DOS\MADGE\DOSRIPL\PROTOCOL.INI
EXE  C:\IBMLAN\DOSLAN\LSP\NETBIND.COM ~ ~ ~
DRV  C:\IBMLAN\DOSLAN\LSP\DXMJ0MOD.SYS ~ 17 ~
DRV  C:\IBMLAN\DOSLAN\LSP\DXMA0MOD.SYS ~ ~ ~
DRV C:\IBMLAN\RPL\DOS\MDGND.DOS ~ ~ ~
DRV  C:\IBMLAN\DOSLAN\LSP\PROTMAN.DOS /I: ~ ~

6 Create a subdirectory called C:\IBMLAN\RPL\DOS\MADGE\DOSRIPL.

7 From the directory C:\IBMLAN\RPL\DOS\TOKENRNG, copy the PROTOCOL.INI into C:\IBMLAN\RPL\DOS\MADGE\DOSRIPL.

(If you don't have a directory called C:\IBMLAN\RPL\DOS\TOKENRNG, then use the PROTOCOL.INI in the directory C:\IBMLAN\RPL\DOS.)

8 In C:\IBMLAN\RPL\DOS\MADGE\DOSRIPL, edit PROTOCOL.INI to look like the example below.

[PROTMAN_MOD]
		DriverName = PROTMAN$
	[DXMJ0_MOD]
		DriverName = NETBEUI$
		BINDINGS = MADGE_MOD
	[MADGE_MOD]
		DriverName = MDGND$

9 Edit the RPL.MAP file and add the following line into the section for server record entries (note that the line has wrapped but that it includes no carriage returns).

yyyyyyyyyyyy DOSBBMG.CNF 3 10 N IBMLAN$

DOS~MADGE~NDIS ~ ~ ,,, Z R_MDGDTK ~ ~

10 Start the RemoteBoot service by using either the NET START RPL command or the LAN Requester full-screen interface.

You can now create, update, or delete DOS RIPL Requester definitions for your workstations by using the LAN Requester full-screen interface. (From the menu bar, select Manage Machine Parameters.) For more information, refer to the LAN Server Network Adminstrator Reference manuals.

When you are creating a DOS RIPL Requester definition, use R_MDGDTK as the Server Record Indentifier.
