The following command-line switches for SERVER.EXE control the Load Stage processing during server startup:
SERVER -#<loadstage_number>
You can use the switches to process up to the specified load stage. For example,
SERVER -#a-b
has "a" and "b" as the numbers of the loadstages, which tells SERVER.EXE to process load stages a to b only. As another exemple,
SERVER -#2-4
tells SERVER.EXE to process only loadstages 2, 3 and 4. The command-line switches can also be used to skip a loadstage. For instance,
SERVER -#!a
designates "a" as the loadstage number. So the above command says "do not process stage A--skip it." Similarly,
SERVER -#!2-4
tells SERVER.EXE to not process loadstages 2, 3 and 4.
Here are some other command-line switches for SERVER.EXE that can be useful in troubleshooting server startup problems.
SERVER -D
Break into Debugger at startup.
SERVER -NDB
Do not open NDS DIB, just load DS.NLM.
SERVER -B <filename>
Specifies which DS.NLM filename to use.
SERVER -NS
Do not process the STARTUP.NCF file.
SERVER -NA
Do not process the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.
SERVER -SI
Disable real mode sharing of interrupts.
SERVER -V
Turn on System Verbose information.
Some of these are only implemented in NetWare 5.1 Support Pack 3 and above.
