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

adapters.
❒
DEFAULT.SYS is the boot image file for all other LAN adapters.
