1.137 Removemodule

Purpose

Use at the System Console prompt to remove 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 tested serveral load switches for a new driver and want only one to be active, remove it from the list and then reload and activate the driver.

Syntax



removemodule = all|module_name

For example:



removemodule idecd.cdm

Parameter

Use to

all

Remove all modules that have been preloaded.

module_name

Specify the name of a preloaded module that you want to remove.
