We have a bunch of diskless PCs with bootROMs, which we use
[and need] to boot DOS (or what) with the Novel Netware server.
I've read somewhere, taht there is a way of booting from Novell
server and downloading the linux image from it, but I can't recollect
where it was.
Does anybody have this configuration up and running?

1. Caldera and Novell NetWare Client
I'm trying to get Caldera Linux to recognize my Novell NetWare 3.12
network at my work. The manual says it should automatically detect
the IPX network, but it doesn't. I know it's there, because I can
log into it on the same machine using dos/windows. I also know
that my ne2000 network card is found by Linux and it also has IPX
support compiled into the kernel. I sent mail to (unofficial) tech
support and got this:
==================================================================
This means that IPX is not finding an IPX network.
Examine /proc/net/ipx, /proc/net/ipx_interface, /proc/net/ipx_route
They should have entries such as:
$ cat /proc/net/ipx
Local_Address Remote_Address Tx_Queue Rx_Queue State Uid
$ cat /proc/net/ipx_interface
Network Node_Address Primary Device Frame_Type
CC638D00 0000C0B23BB5 Yes eth0 802.2
DEADDEAD 0000C0B23BB5 No eth0 802.3
BEEFBEEF 0000C0B23BB5 No eth0 EtherII
$ cat /proc/net/ipx_route
Network Router_Net Router_Node
BEEFBEEF Directly Connected
DEADDEAD Directly Connected
CC638D00 Directly Connected
==================================================================
ok, I know it's not detecting it, but I am wondering why, and what
can I do to solve the problem. When I look at /proc/net, those
files are there, but they are all zero length, with nothing in them.
Has anyone else had any success logging into NetWare?
