- Create the DOS partition and/or install DOS from the Setup diskette.
- If using a SCSI CD-ROM connected to a Adaptec SCSI adapter, insert
EZ-SCSI for DOS/Windows 3.1 in drive A.
Type A:\DOSINST
(Note: If you do not have EZSCSI, download the file DOSDRVR.EXE
from www.adaptec.com and follow the readme to install the drivers
for CD ROM access)
- Install the software. You need a DOS version of MSCDEX.EXE and will
be prompted to install the file if it is not in your DOS directory.
- If installing from an IDE based CD-ROM, consult your vendor
documentation for driver install.
- Reboot your system after install.
- Start the NetWare 3.12 installation from the CD.
(i.e., D:\netware.312\english\install [or whatever letter MSCDEX
assigns to your CD-ROM])
- After NetWare installs the DOS portion of the software, move DOWN and
EXIT to DOS from the server prompt.
- Copy the AIC78U2.HAM and AIC78U2.DDI from the 7800 Family Manager
Set Lite NetWare directory to the C:\server.312 directory.
- Obtain the NWPA_UP.EXE patch from the Novell Web site
http://developer.novell.com/devres/sas/certinfo.htm
- Change directory to c:\server.312, and copy the patch file
NWPA_UP.EXE to the directory.
- Execute NWPA_UP.EXE (Note: this will create another file,
312PTD.EXE. Answer 'Y' to the prompt to overwrite CDROM.NLM.)
- Execute 312PTD.EXE.
- Create the directory c:\server.312\CDSAVE
- Copy CDROM.NLM to c:\server.312\CDSAVE
- Update the server with the following command
c:\server.312\312PTD\native\loader\lswapc:\server.312\
312PTD\native\loader\loader.exec:\server.312\server.exe

be added to the Startup.ncf load AIC78U2 statement to automate driver
load using the parameter SLOT=x (x is the detected slot number).
- Load Install. Create the NetWare partition, SYS volume, and mount
the volume. Complete the installation of the System and Public Files.

the slot=x parameter. Delete the MEM and INT parameters inserted
by Novell.
