Chapter 4. Conﬁguring the Boot Parameters Using the Initialization Diskette

5. After the Freeway boots successfully, store the boot initialization diskette. It can be used to re-set exactly the

same boot parameters again, either on the same Freeway or any other Freeway system.

Note: After the initial system boot, you can telnet or rlogin to Freeway from the boot server (or from any

other computer on the network) and use the Freeway Interactive Menu for Freeway operations as described

in the Freeway User’s Guide.

You can use the Freeway Interactive Menu to modify the boot parameters. If, however, Freeway is booted with

the boot parameter initialization disk in the ﬂoppy drive, any boot parameters that were modiﬁed using the

Freeway menu will be overwritten by the values in the bootparm.txt ﬁle.

6. Run the loopback test to check the hardware and software installation as described in the Freeway Loopback

Test Procedures.

7. If Freeway will normally boot from the boot server, installation is complete. If Freeway will boot from its local

disk, you must download the ﬁles from the boot server onto the local disk. Follow the instructions in the "Build

Hard Disk from Boot Server" section in the Freeway User’s Guide.
