Title: COLD BOOTING UPGRADED SERVERS 
 
Some file servers, particularly the 286B, will not cold boot the operating 
system after the operating system has either been re-copied onto the system
or the operating system has been upgraded (for example from SFT Level I to
SFT Level II).  The error "checksum error in load file" will be displayed when
attempting to cold boot. 
 
The problem is corrected by installing a revised cold boot loader. This is 
available on NetWire or from LANSWER. 
 
        To install the loader, complete the following steps: 
 
        1.     Copy the revised cold boot loader onto the working copy of 
               your NetWare "INSTALL diskette. 
 
        2.     Bring down your file server. 
 
        3.     Boot DOS on the server. 
 
        4.     Insert your working copy of the NetWare "INSTALL" diskette
               into drive A of the file server. 
 
        5.     Type: 
 
                    INSTALL <Enter> 
 
                 An installation menu will appear. 
 
        6.     Choose Option 4, "Install cold boot loaders." 
 
               After the loader is installed, the installation menu will     
               appear again. 
 
        7.     Exit the program and reboot the server. 
  
             The file server will now cold boot from the hard disk.
