b.Copy UNATTEND.TXT from \NT40.INS\i386 to the diskette as specified in item 3 above (preferably to the root (a:\)). The best location to put this file is in the root of your install disk, but the only requirement is to specify the full path to this file in the AUTOEXEC.BAT for the WINNT command.
c.Use the Windows NT® Administrative Tools (Common), start Network Client Administrator and select Make Network Installation Startup Disk.

j.Modify A:\NET\SYSTEM.INI : netcard=N100.DOS (or N1000.DOS or Q57.DOS).
k.Modify A:\NET\PROTOCOL.INI : drivername=N100$ (or N1000$ or Q57$).
l.Add a line: CACHEFLUSH=1 just after the "drivername = N100$" line.
m.Verify or modify A:\AUTOEXEC.BAT to have the following commands: NET USE W: \\ServerName\NT40.INS
W:\WINNT /s:W:\ /u:a:\unattend.txt
Note that W is an example for the logical drive mapped to the share on the Windows NT® server.
n.Remove the invocation of setup.exe from A:\AUTOEXEC.BAT.
7.Insert the startup disk and boot up your DOS client. After connecting to the network. do one of the following:
