SUMMARY
IBM Lan Server 2.0 does not directly support Remote Boot with MS-DOS 6.0. It was released before MS-DOS 6.0 and supports MS-DOS through version 5.0 only. However, the procedure in this article should allow you to use MS-DOS 6 with IBM Lan Server 2.0 Remote Boot.
MORE INFORMATION
Follow these steps to enable IBM Lan Server 2.0 Remote Boot to work with MS-DOS 6:
- Using a machine that has a floppy disk drive, run SETUP /F to create a MS-DOS 6 Startup disk. For more information, see page 178 in the "User's Guide."
- To free additional disk space, delete DBLSPACE.EXE from the Startup disk you created in step 1.
- Expand RAMDRIVE.SYS to this Startup disk. For example, type expand b:\ramdrive.sy_ a:\ramdrive.sys at the MS-DOS command prompt and then press ENTER.
- At the OS/2 remote boot server, install the DOS Remote IPL Service as outlined in your IBM Lan Server manuals.
- When you are prompted for the programs to copy to the fixed disk choose MS-DOS 5.0, even though you will actually be using MS-DOS 6.
- When asked to specify the total number of MS-DOS disks, press 1.
- When prompted for MS-DOS disks, insert the MS-DOS 6 Startup disk created in step 1.
- Complete your installation of DOS Remote IPL Service as normal. Your remote boot workstation should boot from MS-DOS 6.
- Install the rest of the MS-DOS 6 files in the directory on the server (the default name for this directory is IBMLAN\DOSLAN\DOS) with one of the following methods:
- On a machine with a hard disk drive running MS-DOS 6, run SETUP /Q to a directory on the local hard disk drive and then copy the resulting files in this directory (and all the MS-DOS 6 files) to the IBMLAN\DOSLAN\DOS directory on the server. -or-
- On a machine with a hard disk drive running MS-DOS 6, run SETUP /Q to a directory on the local hard disk drive and then copy the resulting files in this directory (and all the MS-DOS 6 files) to the IBMLAN\DOSLAN\DOS directory on the server. -or-
- Expand the MS-DOS 6 files from the floppy disks into your IBMLAN\DOSLAN\DOS directory on the server. -or-
- Expand the MS-DOS 6 files from the floppy disks into your IBMLAN\DOSLAN\DOS directory on the server. -or-
- If the server is configured for dual boot, boot into MS-DOS and run SETUP to the IBMLAN\DOSLAN\DOS directory on the server.
