Purpose
In addition to the DNS/DHCP keys identified above, there must also be a line

There are two options available for passing a response file into the NetWare
installation: using the /RF switch at the command line, or from the Install
Options screen.
If you start the install by booting directly to the NetWare CD, you cannot pass
in the response file automatically unless you have a RESPONSE.TXT file in
the C:\NWUPDATE directory. When the NetWare CD is booted, the startup
utility checks for a RESPONSE.TXT file in the C:\NWUPDATE directory. If
such a file exists, the installation program bypasses the DOS partitioning
utility and uses RESPONSE.TXT as the input response file.
In NetWare, install scripts are supported by the NWCONFIG utility and the
NetWare installation system.
