11/12/96
=======================================================================
    Conflict between NetWare Requester Drive and CD-ROM Drive
=======================================================================

Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION

On systems with so many hard disk partitions that L: is in use by the 
system for a CD-ROM drive, the NetWare Requester for OS/2 is unable to 
start, because it uses L: to connect to the NetWare Server.

RESOLUTION

Change the drive letter used by NetWare from L: to a different
letter by adding a line in the NET.CFG file as follows:

1. Open an OS/2 window and type E C:\NET.CFG, then press Enter.
   (where C: is the installation drive).

2. Add the following text on a new line:

   DEFAULT LOGIN DRIVE X

   where X is the new drive letter to be used exclusively by
   Netware
   
   Notes: 1. Do not specify a colon after the drive letter.

           2. If the computer is running OS/2 LAN Server, do not use 
              drive letters Y: or Z: for the NetWare requester. 
              LAN Server uses these drive letters for RIPL 
              (Remote Initial Program Load), 
              and unpredictable events can occur.
