4. Copy all files from the \NETWARE\V3_1X directory on the PCIFW1.EXE diskette to a directory on the DOS partition. Start the Netware install from CD #1 by running Install from the appropriate language directory under \SERVER.312 directory on the CD ROM. Load AIC7870.DSK from the directory you created for the PCIFW1.EXE files and add the appropriate lines to STARTUP.NCF. Install and configure networking components as normal.
