Overview
This NeXTanswer describes how you can use PCCard (PC/MCIA) devices to install NEXTSTEP onto your computer either a CD-ROM drive or a network.
Procedure
Installing from PCCard SCSI
| 1 | Download the following floppyimages from NeXTanswers: 1984_3.3_PCCard_Install_Floppy.floppyimage  2145_3.3_Core_Drivers.floppyimage1923_3.3_Additional_Drivers.floppyimage Follow the instructions in NeXTanswer 1921_Creating_FDs_From_Images_Under_NEXTSTEP_and_DOS.rtf make floppies from these images |
| 2 | Use these new floppies as the Install and Driver floppies for installation. |
| 3 | Follow the installation instructions in your NEXTSTEP Installation Guide |
| 4 | After you have completed the installation, you need to manually copy the three drivers |
| Intel824X0.config PCIC.config PCMCIABus.config | |
| from the private/Drivers/i386 directory on your floppy to the /private/Drivers/i386 directory on your hard disk. These files already exist on your hard disk; overwrite them. | |
| 6 | Launch Configure.app and make sure you have these new drivers configured properly. They should be configured as: |
| Intel 824X0 PCI HostBridge (v3.31) Intel 82365 PCMCIA Adapter (v3.31) PCMCIA Bus Support (v3.31) |
Installing from PCCard Ethernet
| 1 | Download the following floppyimages from NeXTanswers: 1984_3.3_PCCard_Install_Floppy.floppyimage 2145_3.3_Core_Drivers.floppyimage1923_3.3_Additional_Drivers.floppyimage Follow the instructions in NeXTanswer 1921_Creating_FDs_From_Images_Under_NEXTSTEP_and_DOS.rtf make floppies from these images |
| 2 | Use these new floppies as the Network Install and Driver floppies for installation. The Additional Drivers Floppy does not contain network drivers, so you will have to download the network driver you need and add it to the floppy. |
| 3 | When you first start up the computer with the PCCard Install Floppy, type |
| config=netinstall | |
| at the boot: prompt. | |
| 4 | Follow the regular instructions for network installation. |
| 5 | After you have completed the installation, you need to manually copy the three drivers |
| Intel824X0.config PCIC.config PCMCIABus.config | |
| from the private/Drivers/i386 directory on your floppy to the /private/Drivers/i386 directory on your hard disk. These files already exist on your hard disk; overwrite them. | |
| 6 | Launch Configure.app and make sure you have these new drivers configured properly. They should be configured as: |
| Intel 824X0 PCI HostBridge (v3.31) Intel 82365 PCMCIA Adapter (v3.31) PCMCIA Bus Support (v3.31) |
