SCO OpenServer 5.0.2 installation problem (HELP)

Hi gurus

I'm trying to install SCO OpenServer 5.0.2 on a new chassis and am hitting some
problems (surprise...) any assist appreciated.

The mobo: SuperMicro P3TDLE
Video: - Brand-X PCI - SIS chipset
RAID SCSI(1): Adaptec 2100S RAID 0+1 (nice...)
SCSI(2): Avansys ABP3925 - CDROM SCSI ID 0, HP1537A SCSI ID 3
boot SCO N1
load Adaptec FDD when asked

link
(packages): dpti5 asc

load Avansys FDD when asked
hangs on install - last message on screen: F dptrinit

Any assist appreciated - have tried moving SCSI IDs around of tape and CD to no
effect so am back where we started.

The Adaptec readme says:
SCO Unix 3.2v4.2 needs defbootstr link=dtti4
SCO OpenServer 5.x needs defbootstr ahslink=dpti5
SCO OpenServer 5.0.4 needs defbootstr link=dpti5

Am trying a build now (realtime) - any assist appreciated.

Latest try removed avansys defbootstr ahslink=dpti5 still fails

thanks (in advance)
