Problem with DDI file for Netware 4.0X
--------------------------------------
There is a known problem which occurs during the installation of Netware 4.0X.
This problem involves the DDI file used during the initialization of the
host adapter device driver. The problem is that the DDI does not contain all
the possible slot number options available on all PCI systems, as there are
too many combinations. As a result, during the installation procedure, NetWare
will report that it was unable to load the driver in the given amount of time.
The cause of this is because the DDI file does not contain any slot options,
which causes NetWare to be unable to load the driver. Note, however, that this
is not an error. The user simply needs to go to the console screen and manually
enter in the correct slot number and installation will continue.
