12.5.7 Using No SDMS BIOS
The LSI8XXNW.HAM , LSIHINW.HAM , and LSI_U3NW.HAM drivers will operate
properly on a system when no SDMS BIOS or SDMS DOS drivers are
present. In this case, DOS must reside on a device that is not connected
to an LSI Logic controller-based host adapter. For example, DOS could
reside on an IDE drive.
Table 12.2 DOS Drivers and Descriptions
Driver
Note: The Netware drivers can function independently of any DOS drivers, with
the following exceptions:
If the installation of NetWare is from a SCSI CD-ROM, or If the
unsupported SDMS 3.XX BIOS or supported 4.18 or older SDMS 4.XX
BIOS is being used.
Description
ASPI8XX.SYS The ASPI8XX.SYS driver provides an ASPI layer interface for
disk and nondisk devices. ASPI8XX.SYS is required for
NetWare support if the SDMS 3.XX BIOS or an older SDMS
4.XX BIOS is used. If you install NetWare from a SCSI
CD-ROM on an LSI Logic controller, you must load
SYMCD.SYS
as well as ASPI8XX.SYS .
SYMCD.SYS The SYMCD.SYS driver along with the ASPI8XX.SYS driver
enables you to install the NetWare operating system from a
CD-ROM. Once the NetWare operating system installation
has completed, the system no longer requires
SYMCD.SYS.
The NetWare NWPA environment provides support for SCSI
CD-ROMs through the NWPA driver interface.
MSCDEX.EXE The MSCDEX.EXE driver (provided with DOS) in conjunction
with the SYMCD.SYS driver enables you to install NetWare from
a CD-ROM.
SYMDISK.SYS The SYMDISK.SYS driver provides support for removable
media and large sector size devices under DOS. NetWare
does not require
SYMDISK.SYS to support these types of
devices.
