Removing a NE2000 and installing a 3c905 on sco Openserver 5.04

Removing a NE2000 and installing a 3c905 on sco Openserver 5.04

Post by Stefan Westn » Tue, 03 Nov 1998 04:00:00



Hello,

I have an openserver 5.04 which was installed with a NE2000 NIC and
work fine. Now we replaced the NE2000 with a 3com 3c905 Fast Etherlink
XL and in the scoadmin / network I removed the NE2000. But how do I
install the 3c905? The docs from the 3com-driver tells me something
about an entry like 'have disk' in the listbox where I could select
the nic but there's no entry. I use the shell-version of scoadmin
because  I have no graphical gui installed.

Could anybody help?

Thanks

Stefan Westner

My machine (exactly same situation) autodetected the 3com card (scoadmin
-> network -> hardware -> add lan adapter). Sure suprised me.

Stefan,

I had hell with the 3c905 until I got and loaded rs504c
from SCO's web pile.

After installing rs504c, go to netconfig -> add LAN adapter

As to what PCI device it's going to be, I have no clue.
Depends on what slot it's in.

1. SCO OpenServer 5.04 won't install on Proliant 800!!!!

I give up,

I've read all the postings relating to this problem and I'm still getting
nowhere, can some kind soul tell me what I'm doing wrong - please speak
slowly and use small words.

I've been trying all day in install SCO OpenServer 5.04 on a brand new
Proliant 800 - 1 SCSI hard disk, 1 SCSI date drive, 1 IDE cdrom.

1. The default boot will see the cdrom, but not the SCSI hdd
2. Booting with a link to "cha" will see the hdd but not the cdrom
3. Booting with a link to "cha" and "wd" behaves the same as "2"
4. Booting with the string : restart link=CUCHA Srom=wd(0,0,0)
Sdsk=cha(0,0,0,0) behaves the same as "2"

I've read that the system will try to treat the block addressing cdrom as a
SCSI device...

I've tried selecting SCSI Cdrom for the install path - no dice!

I've read that during the Install Device Selection dialog I should change
from "cha" to "wd" to allow access to the cdrom - the "wd" option is not
there, and it can't be typed in.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and would prevent me from losing it
completely the next time my boss asks how the new Scoserver is doing.
