Network Boot Floppy for Laptop

Ghost over NetBIOS for my IBM laptops
* Get DOS PC Card drivers from laptop manufacturer and put into config.sys.
* Find mslanman.dos drivers for 3com card (usually 3cxxx.com)
* Get following network related files from www.novell.com

* put on the bootup floppy. modify net.bat: replace mhzem.com entry with 3cxxx.com
* get netbios.exe from www.novell.com

* i think you can get the M$ tcp/ip drivers from ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/clients/msclient/

Hope this helps some :-)

You can start with a desktop network boot disk and just change the NIC driver. Just copy the appropriate network card driver onto the floppy, and edit the config.sys to point to the new driver (usually a line like "device=3c509x.sys").

The only glitch I've run into is that some of the NIC drivers are huge and I can't get them on to the floppy and still fit everything else I need.

nt server has a great utility for making these.

start - run - admin tools - client disk utilities - make client bootable disks

now when this appears follow the directions step by step to install drivers to hd. after that a admin utility will come up. select you nic and select you protocol(scroll through list) give it an address and walah!!

I have a boot disk that is configured for all GXa, GX1 and nearly all of the CP(?) range.

This disk will attempt to map a drive letter "z" to a server share and then run PQ Drive image to either restore / backup your PC. Feel free to edit the image I am emailing you, good luck.

Visit my site, Http://www.BovisTech.co.uk and select the bootdisk page. I have the very two disks that you are looking for all ready to be downloaded. First one works on almost every laptop and is for the 3Com 3c589D (and similar) cards and works onalmost everything apart from IBM TP240, the one for the Xircom is also there but this dosent like all laptops but should work fine on the Dell.
If you need any help email me and I'll be happy to help, but I don't think you will 'cause the disk are very easy to follow.
