HP P5389A Installing Novell NetWare on an HP Netserver - Page 13

Add the following line to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file: REGISTER MEMORY start length Where start is the starting hex address where the memory beyond 16 MB or 64 MB begins and length is the hex length of the memory installed beyond 16 MB or 64 MB. Example: REGISTER MEMORY 1000000 400000 If the total memory in a system running NetWare 3.xx is 20 MB of RAM, NetWare will only recognize the first 16 MB. The following line must then be added to the AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that all the system memory will be auto-registered. For more details on the REGISTER MEMORY command, please refer to your NetWare System Administration manual. Tip #2. Installing NetWare 4.2 on a 4 GB hard disk drive Issue: If you have a 4GB capacity hard disk drive, during NetWare installation you may see a pop-up window display insufficient active DOS partition... even though an active DOS partition already exists. Cause: This problem is caused by a defect in NWNSTLL.EXE file for the NetWare installation utility. Solution: There are 2 solutions to resolve this issue: 1. At the pop-up window just press the Enter key, the installation will continue to the end. This error will NOT create any problem to the operating system. 2. Obtain the 4GBFIX.EXE files from Novell web site at: http://support.novell.com and follow the instructions in the .TXT file (included with the self-extracting file) to install NetWare. Section 6.
