Terry,  How much RAM do you have on the server?
You may have a conflict with memory addressing.  Go to 
http://support.novell.com and do a simultaneous search on the
following:  memory, disk, adaptec, "Netware 4.1"

I have seen conflicts, most of which only prevent the server from
seeing memory above 16MB or so.  You will have to contact the vendor
for more information about each device driver you use as well.  If you
are attempting to load SERVER.EXE into high memory...don't.  Also make
sure you are not loading himem.sys or any other memory
managers...Novell Netware does fine by itself.  Hope this helps some.
