UNDERSTANDING LOAD STAGES IN
NETWARE 5.x
NetWare 5 has several load stages--the various steps in the booting process of a
NetWare server. Understanding the processes that occur during each stage can
help narrow down a problem that occurs during the server boot, such as a server
that always abends at boot.
Here are the six Kernel (boot) load stages.

Novell's TID

loaded during each stage. After reviewing this document, you'll be able to
better use the LOADSTAGE command at the server console in your troubleshooting
process. It's a good document to keep handy for your troubleshooting toolbox.
