CHANGING THE BOOT SOURCE ON A

3 DPE NETBUILDER II SYSTEM

 

This chapter describes how to change the primary boot source on a NETBuilder II

 

bridge/router with a DPE module.

 

 

 

The NETBuilder software boot files for a DPE module are factory shipped with

 

a:/101/boot.29k as the default primary boot source. If you have installed the

 

NETBuilder software flash memory card into drive A, and you want to keep the

 

default boot source, skip this chapter and refer to Chapter 6.

 

If you want to adjust system configuration settings, refer to the SysconF appendix in

 

Reference for NETBuilder Family Software for instructions on how to make the

 

changes.

 

 

 

 

Using the Boot

The Boot Monitor utility Boot (BT) command allows you to reboot or to override the

Command

default boot path. The BT command is useful if the boot path has a typing error or

 

if you have a malfunctioning drive. If you enter a new boot path, the Primary Boot

 

Source parameter is updated to reflect the new path.

 

 

 

To reboot the NETBuilder II bridge/router using the Boot Monitor utility Boot

 

command, follow these steps:

Reset the system in one of two ways. Either press the two outer buttons on the

 

LCD control panel on the front of the NETBuilder chassis, or press the reset
