Suggestions were:
1) run 'net init' before 'rtm'
2) load drivers high except for the ethernet card's driver
3) run 'setup' in the windows directory and set network to
none installed
I followed the suggestions and Windows still didn't work. Jennifer at Sun
instructed me to edit the system.ini file in the windows directory to
set the following:
[boot]
network.drv=pcnfs.drv
[boot.description]
network.drv=pcnfs network installed
[386Enh]
network=pcnfs.386
network=*dosnet,*vnetbios
The problem was that 'winstall' doesn't always put network=pcnfs.386 before
network=*dosnet,... and running 'winstall' more than once causes multiple
network=*dosnet,*vnetbios lines to be inserted in system.ini, thus killing
windows on startup. Be sure to scan the entire 386Enh section. I had extra
network= lines throughout it.
