network boot disk for ghosting

I have a norton ghost boot disk but my problem is that the image I want to dump is located on the server. We used to have a network boot disk but we lost it somewhere. I think what I need, if I'm not misunderstanding everything I have read today, is the nic drivers loaded onto this boot disk. I am guessing they would have to be the dos drivers? Not really sure exactly what I am looking for. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Penny

you'll need the following configuration files on the disk
config.sys autoexec.bat net.cfg
the config.sys for my particular nic card is as follows, DEVICE=A:\HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=A:\EMM386.exe NOEMS x=D000-DFFF LASTDRIVE=Z
in your net.cfg file you will need the ODI driver from novell. The ODI driver ffor my card is CBEODI and I have the net.cfg file configured as follows Link Driver CBEODI frame ethernet_802.2
Netware DOS Requester FIRST NETWORK DRIVE = F NETWARE PROTOCOL = NDS BIND
The autoexec.bat file should be set up the same any odi boot disk.
