Very Computer

Hello

I received a free SCO OpenServer cdrom with a boot disk from SCO and I
Needed help to install on a p200 PC with a CDRom connected to an ide
controller

I boot the disk and get to the 'BOOT: '   prompt
I know I need a boot time loadable module to initialize the cdrom but
where might
I be able to get it?
Or how else may I install the cd rom?

Thank you.

How do you know you need a BTLD, and which BTLD might it be?

I have my experience from SCO Internet Faststart, but that shouldn't pose a
problem. Installing SCO-Unix is possible via a EIDE-compliant CDROM-drive,
i.e. a ATAPI-compatible CDROM-drive. You will need to specify a bootstring
at startup, only if you have a SCSI-adapter installed in your system.

If the installation-procedure is the same in Openserver and Internet
Faststart, at a point in installation you will be prompted for
"Installation Media Device". At this point you simply choose SCSI-CDROM.
Select wd for the SCSI-adapter-type. Select 0 or 1 for the host adapter
number, depending on if the CDROM-drive is attached to the primary or
secondary IDE-controller in yor system. Select 0 or 1 as SCSI-ID, depending
on if the CDROM-drive is configured as master or slave. Select 0 for SCSI
LUN and for SCSI bus number. This should enable your CDROM-drive as the
installation-media.

In some systems it's neccesary to install a SCSI-host-adapter in the system
to make this work, but you don't need a SCSI-CDROM.

The above is described in "SCO Internet Faststart Release Notes" ver. 1.0
(printed documentation).

Good luck and kind regards from,

Hit return at boot prompt (no Boot time drivers needed)

Choose SCSI CD from the options list

Select WD for host adaptor type

select 0 if primary IDE 1 if secondary IDE device (probably 1)

If CD set as MASTER choose 0 for its SCSI ID if slave choose 1
(probably 0)

select 0 for SCSI LUN

Select 0 for SCSI bus no.

SCO should find your drive and install

Good Luck
