When an adapter configuration is saved, the NetWare install program adds load and bind statements to the autoexec.ncf file. By accessing this file, you can verify the parameters configured for each adapter, modify them, or enter additional parameters.
NOTE: The Novell monitor program and the CONFIG command are also useful for verifying driver configuration. For information on how to use these programs, refer to the utilities reference in your Novell NetWare online documentation.
The parameters that can be defined in the load statements are described in NetWare server driver LOAD line parameters for HP server adapters below. A valid autoexec.ncf file is shown below. One set of load and bind commands is added for each frame type the adapter is configured to support.

IMPORTANT: If you modify any adapter parameters, you must reboot the system before the changes will take effect. If you make changes and do not reboot, you may experience configuration problems.
Removing drivers from Autoexec.ncf
To remove the drivers from the Autoexec.ncf, locate the LOAD and BIND command lines associated with the driver and remark them out by inserting the pound (#) symbol at the beginning of each command line.
Example:
# LOAD Q57 SLOT=2 FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 NAME=Q57_1_E82
