Installing From Diskette
If your computer does not have a CD-ROM drive, use a PC
that has a CD-ROM drive and create installation diskettes
from the
EtherCD
.
You can also download the
EtherDisk
software from the
3Com World Wide Web site:

The installation diskettes allow you to install the network
driver only. If you want to install the NIC diagnostics or
desktop management software, you must install them from
the EtherCD.
Making a DOS-Bootable Diskette
For installation and configuration procedures that require
you to boot from DOS, you cannot successfully use the
MS-DOS prompt from within Windows. Perform a “clean”
boot from DOS or use a DOS boot disk.
To use the CD-ROM drive on a PC or server in a DOS
environment, the DOS drivers for the CD-ROM drive must
be installed. Consult the documentation that accompanied
your CD-ROM drive or your motherboard for information
about how to install these drivers.
If the PC or server is only running DOS and a CD-ROM
drive is not installed, you must install the NIC software
