## Network Boot |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your RomWBW system is equipped with an RCBus MT011 module, it is |
|
|
|
possible to boot into CP/M 2.2 directly from a CP/NET network server. |
|
|
|
This means that the operating system will be loaded directly from the |
|
|
|
network server and all of your drive letters will be provided by the |
|
|
|
network server. |
|
|
|
|
|
|

This function requires substantial knowledge of CP/NET and it's |

complete instructions for setting up a CP/NET based network under RomWBW |

including a section on network booting. |
