4.7.2.2 Build Hard Disk from Boot Server
To build the hard disk from the boot server, enter ‘3’ at the Hard Disk Maintenance
Options menu.
Note
To build the hard disk, you must have previously configured a
computer on your network to serve as the Freeway boot server and
installed all the server and protocol software on the boot server.
These procedures are explained in Chapter 2.
Tabl e 4–3 shows a summary of the steps you must perform to build the hard disk from
the boot server. Informational messages are displayed as the disk is built.
The Freeway 1100/1150/1200/1300 hard disk uses an MS-DOS file system. File names
must follow the DOS convention of having a base name of no more than eight charac-
ters followed by a period and an extension of no more than three characters. File names
for the Freeway 1100/1150/1200/1300 are not case sensitive.
Table 4–3: Summary of Steps Required to Build a Hard Disk
Step 1: If you are using a Freeway 1100/1150/1200/1300, make sure the names of all
files to be loaded on the hard disk meet the MS-DOS file naming conventions. This
is not necessary for a Freeway 2000/4000/8800.
Step 2: Log on to Freeway and access the Freeway Interactive Menu.
Step 3: Modify the boot parameters so Freeway can boot from the boot server rather
than from the hard disk.
Step 4: Boot Freeway from the boot server.
Step 5: Perform the “Build Hard Disk” operation.
Step 6: Modify the boot parameters so Freeway can boot from the hard disk rather
than from the boot server.
Step 7: Boot Freeway from the hard disk.
