The startup.ncf and autoexec.ncf files contain a set of commands that are executed during the boot routine. The startup.ncf file contains commands to load the disk driv- ers. Once startup.ncf loads disk drivers, control is passed to the autoexec.ncf file to complete the boot routine. For additional information on the startup.ncf and autoexec.ncf files, refer to your IntranetWare documentation.

To automatically load the aic78u2.ham driver during the boot routine, the startup.ncf file must contain a load command line that specifies the location of the driver on the hard-disk drive and any available options.
