Where does x:\net> map to? If it maps right into the i386 directory, then the command line with prompt should read
x:\net>winnt

But if x:\net maps to the parent of the i386 folder, then the command line with prompt will have to read
x:\net>i386\winnt

If you've got some other strange file structure going on, then you'll have to find where the winnt.exe is within the share. From the x:\net> prompt, enter 'dir /s winnt.exe and if found, you'll see the path to the executable, and you preceed the command winnt with the appropriate path.
