; Are we the server? (Check for “?”)
; If so, then the hard disk is directly attached to the computer making this system the server. With this, jump to the hard drive to load the server code.
If we are here, then the station address is not 63 and this is not the server. With this, we must read (across the network) the bootstrap pointer sector (sector 0 of drive 1 at the server) to get the boot code volume for THIS station, then get the location of the boot volume from the volume table, and then load the object code found at that location and jump to it. So let’s start …
