NetWare 5.1 Does Not Recognize CD-ROM Drive

原来主从盘还有要求，默认情况下要主盘才行。

果然把跳线跳到主盘就能正确识别光驱了。

actually, startup.ncf is in c:\nwserver - you can edit it using
NWCONFIG

However, the one you posted is probably accurate. Unless you have 2 processors, comment out the LOAD MPS14.PSM - actually, even if you
have
2 processors, you can comment it out, NW5.1 doesn't make much use of the second processor.

then, you will need to check the CDROM drive and make sure that the
jumper on it is set for Master and not Slave, and that it is actually

plugged into the primary IDE port and not the secondary. It will work

plugged into the secondary, but you will need to change the load line

to:

LOAD IDEATA.HAM PORT=170 INT=F

Note that if you do not want to take the machine down, you can
actually
test if the CDROM is on the secondary IDE port by typing the above
load
line at the console, then see if NetWare recognizes the CDROM. If it

works, just add that load line to c:\nwserver\startup.ncf using
NWCONFIG
