8 Repeat steps 6 through 8 for additional NICs.
9 After you are finished configuring the NICs, select Continue Installation.
NOTE: You may want to change the autoexec.ncf file to add or delete keywords.
The startup.ncf and autoexec.ncf files can be edited by invoking NWCONFIG from
the NetWare 5.x server console, and by invoking LOAD INSTALL from the NetWare
4.x server console.
Example of a typical autoexec.ncf file:
file server name NOVELLSERVER41
# WARNING!
# If you change the name of this server, you must update
# all the licenses that are assigned to this server. Using
# NWAdmin, double-click a license object and click
# Certificate Assignments. If the old name of
# this server appears, you must delete it and then add the
# new server name. Do this for all license objects.
