BOOTCONF.SYS File
Syntax
The syntax for each Boot Image file line in the BOOTCONF.SYS file is:
0xMAC_address=Bootimage.sys[bind parameters]
where:
MAC_address
is a string of hexadecimal digits where wildcard
characters (* and ?) can be used.
Bootimage.sys
is the renamed name of a NET$DOS.SYS file,
which is associated with the MAC_address.
The last line of the BOOTCONF.SYS file should show the default value.
In this example BOOTCONF.SYS file, the last line shows the default value
DEFAULT.SYS:
0x080009311265 = MYBOOTIM.SYS
0x080009?????? = HP.SYS
0x0060B0?????? = HP.SYS
0x* =
DEFAULT.SYS
where:
❒
MYBOOTIM.SYS is a boot image particular to the workstation which has the MAC
address 080009311265.
❒
HP.SYS is a boot image file specific to the HP Ethernet Family Adapter. HP has
two MAC address identifiers, the original 080009 and the newer 0060B0. Users
may require one or the other or both depending on when they acquired their LAN
adapters.
❒
DEFAULT.SYS is the boot image file for all other LAN adapters.
BIND Parameters
. The bind parameters are optional parameters that allow you to
override the BIND time parameter of RPL.NLM with parameters specific to a
particular workstation that is being booted. For more information, refer to
“Loading
the Remote Program Load Services” on page 91.
