Operating System Boot File
The only file that is always required for remote booting is the OS boot file.
Generating an OS Boot File
To generate an OS boot file, configure a definition file using the ICU. Table 15-3
shows the remote boot definition files provided with the OS in the /rmx386/icu
directory. The ICU restores the backup version of the file to a definition file with the
extension .def instead of .bck. The rsd in the filenames means they are intended for
use with a remote system device, which is the standard configuration for remote boot
clients. The files contain all of the iRMX subsystems and the iRMX-NET File
Consumer module, but not the iRMX-NET File Server software.

pccprsd.bck
PC with EtherExpress 16
Note
The pccprsd.bck file can run the DOSRMX OS (with DOS present)
or iRMX for PCs (without DOS). You can also use this file on an
SBC 486SX/DX board with an EWENET module. To do so, you
need to make only one change.
Use the ICU to configure pccprsd.bck. Change the iNA 960 file
configured into the OS with the OFN parameter on the ICMPJ
screen. For the EWENET module, specify either the iewexpn
(NULL2) job or iewexpe (ES-IS) job, instead of the iethxpn(e) job
used with the EtherExpress 16.
