Re: Workstation card boot setup

I finally got around to installing an Apple II Workstation card in my
IIe. I set up an Appleshare 3 server to allow network boot of the IIe.
I can get it to boot into Prodos successfully but once it boots it
launches the Logon application and forces me to log in to a server and
then exits to the Prodos launcher. I want to be able to setup the
network so that I can install Prosel or other utility to boot directly
Into. I have searched a fair bit and can't find any info on setting up
and Apple II to use a network volume outside of the basic startup
boot.
I am far from an expert, but I'm not sure it's straightforward to skip logon. The boot process is totally orthogonal to AFP (filesystem) access. I don't believe that the state you arrive in when netboot completes is different from the state of a network connected machine booting from a local drive.
But, I'm not an Appletalk guru. Perhaps there's a way to blindly bring up networking without authentication...
