BOOTR BOOT PROM

This boot PROM is a 16K prom. It boots any networking software over TFTP
and RARP. The Ethernet and Internet address mapping must be set up in
the "etc/ethers" file on the host computer running the RARPD daemon.

The file "default.wd8003" must be created in the directory "bwboot"
which is a subdirectory of the tftpd's working directory.  This is
typically /tftpboot on a Sun system. See the file "default.set" about
the make up of the "default.wd8003" file. For 3C501 cards substitute
"default.3c501" for "default.wd8003".


CREATING A BOOT VOLUME:

     Format a bootable 360K floppy diskette, copy to the floppy, only
the files of the networking software required to be able to mount/link
a system network drive. At the bottom of the autoexec.bat switch to the
network drive and execute a batch file from the network drive. Do not use
the DOS "CALL" command, just enter the name of the batch file on the network
drive. As the first line of the batch file on the network drive, execute the
command "ROMREL". This command takes a parameter of "/NOFLOPPY" to disable
the use of any floppy drives the system may have.

     Once you have created the boot volume, run the program "MAKEBOOT"
to create the boot volume file. Makeboot takes two parameters, the first
is the drive where the boot floppy is located (eg. A:) the second parameter
is the filename where the boot volume is written to. Move this file
to the "bwboot" directory and change it's permissions to world readable.
Enter the filename in the FILES section of the setup file (see default.set).
All files in the directory "bwboot" must be world readable.

NOTE:Since data compression is performed, it is best to make a backup of
     the boot floppy by formatting a new bootable floppy and using COPY or
     XCOPY to copy the files. Do NOT use diskcopy. This is eliminate any
     data after the end of files. Use the backup copy with the makeboot
     program.
