Specify an alternative to STARTUP.NCF. Replace filename with the name of the alternate file. (The file extension must be .NCF)
The system looks for the file in the current boot directory, unless you specify a path.
-na
Prevent the AUTOEXEC.NCF file that you created in INSTALL from executing. This parameter is useful if you are changing drivers or other commands in your AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
-ns
Prevent the STARTUP.NCF and AUTOEXEC.NCF files created in INSTALL from executing.
This parameter is useful for changing the boot process.
Using SERVER
SERVER is a DOS-executable file that boots the NetWare operating system.
If neither of the .NCF files exists, SERVER prompts you for a server name and an IPX internal network number; SERVER then brings up the console prompt (:).
To automatically bring up the server when you boot up the machine, you can do one of the following:
Place the SERVER command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file in your boot partition.
Use REMOVE DOS to boot the NetWare operating system automatically after you down the server and use the EXIT command.
SERVER executes STARTUP.NCF and AUTOEXEC.NCF, if they exist.
