again to reboot the IBM Network Station.
The IBM Network Station starts and loads the kernel from the Flash card
located in the predefined IBM Network Station.
The file
peer.nsm points the Network Station to the /local/mods directory from
which the emulators and ACTLogin code are loaded.
Please proceed to the next section to verify that the peer Network Station has
sourced the executable modules from the Flash card enabled Network
Station.
3.5.5 Verifying Functionality
After you have completed the configuration of the peer Network Station, you
must verify that the peer Network Station loaded the code from the Flash card
enabled Network Station.
The code, that should be sourced from the Flash card, is the kernel,
ACTLogin and executable modules such as the emulators.
Verify that the IBM Network Station loads the compressed kernel from the
Flash card (/peerboot file system). You must watch the Network Station at
start up to obtain this information. It can be read from the display once the
POST (Power
On
Self Tests) are complete. The kernel loads from the Flash
card very quickly.
After the Network Station has started up and presented you with the login
display, sign on with the user profile that you have already configured. The
different emulators choices are shown on the task bar. Start each emulator by
pressing the appropriate menu bar button.
Assuming that you have entered the correct system information when
configuring the three emulators using the IBM Network Station Manager
program, each one starts and shows the appropriate system sign on display.
Verify that the modules were in fact loaded from the
/peerboot/mods directory
on the Flash card, by reviewing the console log of the Network Station.
Use the following steps to view the console log and verify the modules are
loaded from the correct directory.

console.
