Hello,

Boot ROM woes: I have a PS/2 with IBM Ethernet adapter which
I load with RPL. This used to work nice. However, now there
is a need to use LAN Support Program on the workstation. We
promptly built a floppy that includes LAN Support Program,
V1.23, and loads it (on top of ODINSUP, by the way - not that
this made any difference).

We have used ETHER.RPL and RPL.NLM from the latest RPLFT.ZIP.

The result: the station loads very nicely from the floppy.
When we DOSGEN the floppy, the boot stops after LAN Support
Program is loaded (CONFIG.SYS time), when it says that:

CCB Command 03 returned error code 09; RPL HALTED

and everything comes to a standstill.

I have no clue why RPL should issue *any* CCB call to LSP,
especially since LSP is not yet initialized (and will not
be until after "netbind.exe" runs). However, I find myself
in the situation where I just can't load the station.

The doc in RPLFT says that "all the problems with LAN Support
Program have been corrected". This should mean that someone,
somewhere, *does* have this working. So we might be missing
something here. Could any kind soul help us in this?

Thanks very much in advance. Please E-Mail, if possible.
