PCnet Family Network Driver Installation Guide
startup. If using an earlier version of DOS (e.g., V3.3), booting from a floppy without the
CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT file will achieve the same result. Once the system
has been started using this method, the DMI installation program can be used to install
DMI support for the PCnet drivers.

Directory Structure
DMINSTL expects the following directory structure to exist in the target environment.
If the directory structure does not exist, the installation program will create it. See
Figure 10.

DMINSTL Interaction With SL
DMINSTL interacts with the service layer in one of two ways. If the SL is loaded, the
installation program invokes it as required to perform the installation. If the SL is not
loaded, DMINSTL loads it before continuing. Once the installation completes, the SL is
unloaded if DMINSTL loaded it. If the SL is not available on the target system,
DMINSTL copies the PCNET.MIF file both to the C:\DMI\DOS\MIFS and
C:\DMI\DOS\MIFS\BACKUP directories.

Moving Between Fields
Once the installation program has been invoked, it presents a forms based interface
with two text input fields and two pull-down menu fields. To move between the fields,
the TAB key is pressed repeatedly until the cursor enters the desired text input field, or
until the desired pull down menu field is highlighted.
