Novell Boot Disk

How do I create a Novell DOS boot disk ? I need step by step instructions.  When I have created it, how do I add different types of network cards to a boot menu ?

"Boot Disk"? as in "Floppy"?

Servers generally install on top of a small DOS partition. You build the partition (5 mb is plenty) and copy SERVER.EXE to it. Run that and away you go.

The *correct* way to build a server is with the server installation diskettes. This will build out the Novell volumes and install all of the appropriate drivers etc.

Not really sure what you're after here.

I want a clint floppy boot disk to connect to a Novell server from a Windows 95 PC using a 3C0m Network card.

Oh, I didn't understand what you were after. Trath has given good advice.
Good idea to add config,sys as well.eg

device=himem.sys      <--- required for lh of progs
lastdrive=z                  <-- handy to have

the net cfg should also have entry as per ne2000 for the lan card you are using.

wondering also - why do you want a boot floppy to connect win95 ws to network -
why not just use the win95 networking, either netware or MS client.

Are using this to setup win95 using server based cab files ?
