Use at the System Console prompt to load or start modules that are preloaded by the startup.ncf file or modules that were loaded using the load -s command.
Preloading modules is required to avoid a fatal loss of access to essential driver files during a time period in the boot process when access to the FAT (DOS) partition containing the files is not possible. This period begins when the first driver is activated and ends when the partition is made available through NetWare drivers instead of Real Mode (BIOS/DOS) drivers.
If you have installed a new driver that works with the CIOS specification, you can use this command to install and test your load options on the driver before adding a command to load it to the startup.ncf file.
