I don't know, if its helping, because I have a Suse. 
But perhaps you can start getting more information with that:

1.) as root: Starting an Interface at bootup
# ipx_interface delall && ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.3

2.) as user: Login an mounting Novell:
> ncpmount -S NOVELLSERVER -U username ~/my_mount_point

Here's what you have to do.

1.  add the Ipx Interface
2. Run Ncpmount (with the required options) to mount the exported (by the
Novell)  directories, wherever you want on the linux box tree.

Check the ncpmount MAN pages for more.
I tried this with RH 5.1 , so I suppose that later version should work as
well

Script :

#!/bin/bash

#Mounting Novell_Server  to Linux_Directory

ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.2
/usr/bin/ncpmount -S Novell_Server_Name -U admin(novell user name)  -u
Linux_username -g (group that the mounted files belong to) -f 0777 -d
0777 -P (novell password) -m (mounting point in linux)

The kernel must provide IPX-interfaces... 
there is anywhere such a button in the folder 'netware settings'

Do you know if IPX and client this will work with Netware 2 or only 4
onwards?
