Hello out there in NetLand!

Our site is in the process of upgrading several networks of
XT-compatibles from NetWare 2.0A to 2.2 .  We seem to have run into a
problem with the remote boot EPROMS.  These refuse to recognize the
new image file's name or format.  We are temporarily using a boot file
with the new drivers bundled by the old DOSGEN equivilant.  But the
this seems to interfere with the menu system...  Has anyone else
experienced this problem?  Any wizard got a fix?  We aare in the
process of replacing/reprogramming new EPROMS, but they won't be
available until after X-mas.  

Also, we have been experiencing problems with our login sequence.  On
the old system, we had a GO.BAT that repeated the Login: process until
one logged in, and then ran MENU Select.Mnu when login occurred.  This
way we don't have to teach all of our students how to diddle with the
system.  We tried to port the old batch file to the new version, but
Novell doesn't seem to like the looping in it.  It comes back with the
message "Batch File Not Found."  Is this a bug in Novell?  Is there a
workaround? (DOS 3.3)  

Inquiring minds want to know...

Tanks in advance!
