Setting Up a Novell NetWare 3.x and 4.x Server for Remote
Start
To remote boot a client PC, remote boot services must be installed on a Novell
NetWare server and a Boot Image must be created and installed on the server.
A Boot Image is a file on the server that appears to a client Vectra as a “bootable
disk”. A “bootable disk” is a disk containing the operating system and other related
files.
A Boot Image can be used to remotely start any client Vectra; that is, any Vectra PC
connected to the network that does not act as the server.
The creation of a remote boot image disk is described in detail in the “Preparing the
Network for Use” chapter of the
Novell NetWare Getting Started: Supervisors
Guide
.
This section summarizes this procedure.
How to Create a Boot Image
You will need at least one PC with a flexible disk drive to generate a Boot Image for
the server to replicate. This PC is referred to as the Administrator Workstation.
All the details you need to generate the Boot Image can be found in the DOSGEN
section of your
Novell NetWare
manual. The following explanation is a summary of
the process.
