You've just upgraded the 100 Mbps Ethernet network board in your OES NetWare server to a Gigabit Ethernet network interface. The manufacturer included a floppy diskette with a LAN driver named…

Typing the filename alone without LOAD is not valid NetWare console syntax for loading NLMs or drivers.

LOAD NTI1000.LAN without a path would only work if the driver is located in a directory already in the server's search path, not on a floppy diskette.

In Novell NetWare, the LOAD command is used to load NLMs (NetWare Loadable Modules), including LAN drivers. When the driver resides on a floppy disk rather than the default search paths, the full path must be specified, making 'LOAD A:\NTI1000.LAN' the correct syntax to load the driver directly from the floppy drive assigned to A:.

NetWare does not mount floppy drives under a /MNT/FLOPPY path; that convention belongs to Linux/Unix systems, not NetWare.
