Vyavheslav,
This would work if SYS mounted..  If SYS doesnt mount you cant load it..  :}
A better idea is to have VREPAIR, INSTALL, and any necessary NLM's on your C:
drive boot partition (with SERVER.EXE)..
You could use LOAD C:VREPAIR at this point..

10BaseT, 10Bast2. 10Base2 is basically coax cable and 10BaseT is best
summarized by looking like a phone cord.  Cat or Catagory refers to 10BaseT
cabling. The higher the catagory, the more twists in the line to prevent
crosstalk or interference.

in a partitioned 500 meg to test it. as soon as i got the server stuff loaded
it gave me the error again. i've tried 3 diff ide cards all with the same
problem (one card gave the error so frequently that i had to hard boot the
system, couldn't even down it properly)
thre great thing about posting my original message is that i got a lot of

I looked at my installation, al the files carry dates of mid-1994, and 3.12
was realeased about then, so it is very likely that the latest documentation
is 1994.

Agreed.
True. The users are compalining about the slower responses. The NW server was

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Everyone,
 First of all, I would like to thank everyone who had helped me
in solving my problem with upgrading from Novell 3.11 to 3.12.
 Now, I am asking another question.  :)
 In another installation,  I added another 3com network card in our
3.11 server and changed the existing server network card from COMPEX to 3Com.
we changed the LOAD NE2000 to LOAD LSL...  We also upgraded one of the
computers from a 486DX4-100 to a Pentium 100.  It's the computer immediately
next to the server.
 We were able to get the server to recognize the 2 3com network card.
However, we can't seem to automatically recognize the 2nd network card.  It
requires the user to choose which card to use re-entrantly.  I was wondering
if anyone knows the correct commands to take away the user intervention
requirement.
 Also, I have noticed that the Packet Receive Buffers are growing
way too fast.   Before the upgrade, I don't think Packet Receive Buffers
ever grew to 100.  Now it seems that it's growing at a rate that at the
end of the day, it reaches 500.
 What's causing this problem?  What does this problem signify?
Exactly what are Packet Receive Buffers? ;)
      Thanks in advance,
          -=Joy Sy=-
