Chapter 5 Installing Novell NetWare 5.1 and Novell Small Business Suite 5.1
For NetWare 5.1
NOTE The NetWare NOS installation contains a known software
error (not product-specific) that does not allow you to boot
from CD-ROM. To work around this problem, boot from a
DOS diskette and create a bootable DOS partition on the drive.
1. Insert the Novell NetWare 5.1 CD-ROM and boot the system.
2. Press Enter to read the license agreement then press Esc, and select "Accept
License Agreement".
3. Press Enter to "Create a New Boot Partition".
4. HP recommends creating a 1000MB boot partition, then pressing Enter to
continue.
5. If you accept erasing all data on your disk, select Continue. Your system will
now create the partition, reboot, and format that partition.
For Small Business Suite 5/5.1
1. Boot your HP Server on a DOS bootable utility diskette.
NOTE You can boot from the NetWare SBS 5 License diskette.
Novell DOS 7 and all required DOS utilities (FDISK,
FORMAT, EDIT) are included on the diskette.
2. Type FDISK to create a 1000 MB primary DOS partition on the primary
drive (C:). Remember to make it the active (bootable) partition. The
computer will restart and boot on the DOS bootable utility diskette again.
3. Format and transfer DOS system files to the partition by typing:
A:\>FORMAT C: /X /S when using NetWare DOS utility
A:\>FORMAT C: /S when using MSDOS utility
4. Insert the HP disk NW SCSI (created with the Startup-CD) and type:
A:\>PREPARE
to automatically create new directories, copy the necessary drivers and
configure the DOS boot.
5. Remove the diskette and reboot the server.
