3.3.5 Testing the Boot Image from the AS/400 System

To set NVRAM on the IBM Network Station so that it boots using the image

located in the IFS that you created in the previous steps, complete the

following steps:

1. Reset NVRAM on the IBM Network Station.

We highly recommend that, before making any major change to the

configuration of the IBM Network Station, you reset NVRAM to the factory

defaults.

# flash.nsm - This file resides in the /QIBM/ProdData/NetworkStation/configs directory

# AS/400 File Service Table

set file-service-table = {

4096 4096}

{"/QIBM/ProdData" nil 10.1.1.2 tftp "/QIBM/ProdData/" unix 3 30 4096 4096 }

}

# Read the configuration files from the server

read standard.nsm

# Make the necessary mods to the base values

set exec-startup-commands = {

}
