Copy the NetRAID Driver for Clusters
Copy the “Mraidnt.sys” file from the NR Firmware & Driver floppy disk to the “\Netraid” directory on the
NT 4.0 Drivers floppy disk you created in step 13 above (page 18). You can do this either by booting the
server on which you are installing to DOS and copying the file, or by copying this file using another
computer:
This will overwrite the NetRAID single system driver already there with the NetRAID cluster driver.
NOTE
Do not copy the oemsetup.inf file on the NR Firmware & Driver floppy disk.
Install Windows NT
NOTE
Windows NT must be installed from floppy disks, not the CD, so that the mass storage
drivers will be loaded correctly. If you have not created a set of Windows NT boot
floppy disks, see Software in part “1 What’s Needed” for additional information.

the Symbios driver at this time.
