LynxOS Installation
The EPC-8 must be configured by the AUTOSET program in Shared Memory
(WD8013-compatible) mode.
For more information on driver data structure editing and building the kernel to
operate correctly, reference the LynxOS TCP/IP Installation and Configuration
Manual.
There are three basic steps to the installation of LynxOS TCP/IP:
1. Retrieve TCP/IP from the floppies or tape.
2. Configure the EPC-8 in Western Digital mode.
3. Install TCP/IP into the kernel.
Retrieve TCP/IP
Install the appropriate LynxOS floppy or tape onto the drive. Make sure you are in the
root directory by typing cd / . Retrieve the data with the following command:
tar xvf /dev/rDevice_Name
For example, if the system contains a 3.5" disk, use the following command:
tar xvf /dev/rfd1440.0
Configure the EPC-8 Parameters
Follow these steps to set up the configurable parameters for the EPC-8 Ethernet
adapter to work under LynxOS.
1. Boot up DOS.
2. Run the AUTOSET program and set the I/O base address and the IRQ. Set the
shared memory base to a 16K byte boundary such as 0xCC00.
If you have purchased your EPC with LynxOS installed, the shared memory base
address specified in the kernel matches that of the supplied EPC-8. If you change the
EPC-8's shared memory base address, the drive information must be modified. Edit
the /SYS/DEVICES/IF_WD3EINFO.C file to reflect the new value and remake the
kernel.
