PCI Disk Array Controller Drivers Manual

If the Mylex Disk Array Controller will be the primary (bootable) controller, 
you must install the controller driver at the time of NetWare 5.0 installation.

If you choose to use the NetWare 5.0 bootable CD-ROM, please read the 
instructions in the section “NetWare 5.0 Bootable CD-ROM” on page 2-7, 
before continuing.

NetWare version 5.0 is available on CD-ROM. Drivers provided in the \DOS 
subdirectory of the NT4/NW Drivers Software Kit diskette (packaged with 
the Mylex Disk Array Controller) are required to install NetWare 5.0 from a 
CD-ROM drive connected to a Mylex Disk Array Controller.

The procedure below assumes that the CD-ROM drivers are available.

1. Boot the system from a newly created DOS boot drive, and then create 

(or edit) the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files to include the 
drivers required for accessing the CD-ROM as a logical drive under 
DOS. The following example assigns the CD-ROM as drive D: under 
MS-DOS 6.00 or above. CONFIG.SYS contains the statements:

AUTOEXEC.BAT contains the statement:

The device name is that of the specific CD-ROM drive 
(e.g., MSCD001).

2. Boot the system with the new CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT, 

and make sure the NetWare CD-ROM files are accessible under DOS.

3. Create a directory C:\NWUPDATE

• Copy MDAC.HAM and MDAC.DDI from the \NETWARE path.

Copy A:\Netware\MDAC.* C:\NWUPDATE
