2.0 Installation and setup instructions
_______________________________________

        
        2.1 Driver installation

     		    Create a directory under Netware server system directory 
				(e.g. SYS:\SYSTEM\osaipmi).
             
                Copy all files under NetWare directories to the above directory.
                File list:
                    intf.ini
                    osaipmi.nlm
                    osasetup.nlm
                    osa_license.txt
                    
                On the Netware server console, run 'osaipmi\osasetup -i'
                to install the driver.  The setup program will copy osaipmi.nlm
                and intf.ini to Netware system directory.  It will also add a
                line "LOAD OSAIPMI.NLM" in SYS:\SYSTEM\autoexec.ncf to 
                automatically load the driver.  The original autoexec.ncf is 
                renamed to autoexec.bak.
             
                To verify the driver installation, run 'modules osaipmi' on 
                Netware server console.  It will show the driver version and 
                copyright information on the console.
        
        2.2 Driver uninstallation

		        To uninstall OSA IPMI driver, run 'osaipmi\osasetup -u'
                in the Netware server console.
