Creating a Bootable CD ROM

To create a bootable CD-ROM, do the following:
1. On your technician computer, at the command prompt, create an .iso
file by typing:
oscdimg -n -bc:\VistaPEx86\etfsboot.com
c:\VistaPEx86\ISO C:\VistaPEx86\VistaPEx86.iso
2. Burn the iso image to a CD.
Configuring theSpeed and DuplexSettings
Since the typical environment where the NetXtreme II monolithic driver is
used does not provide the means to configure advanced network adapter
properties, the driver file (b06nd.inf) was modified to include a section that
allows it to be configured for a specific speed and/or duplex. This provides
a more robust connection to the network as it allows the adapter to match
the settings of its link partner (for example, a switch, router, etc.).
To manually configure the speed and duplex, do the following:
1. Open the b06nd.inf file with a text editor like Microsoft Notepad or
WordPad.
2. Perform a search on the file for “Registry parameters” to locate the
section that will allow you to configure the adapter speed/duplex.
