It is recommended that all logical array drives be initialized and synchronized before initially loading any operating system.
SCO Unix 3.2 v4.2x and OpenDesktop/Server v3.0
Obtain the file 76h8962.exe from the IBM BBS. This self-extracting file (under DOS or OS/2) will create a diskette automatically. On this diskette, in the "\SCO" directory, is another self-extracting file called "sco3401.exe". Copy this file to your DOS or OS/2 harddrive and execute it. This file will create the mdac BTLD diskette which supports the IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Raid and Streaming Raid (Mylex) adapters running SCO Unix 3.2 v4.2 and SCO Open Desktop / Open Server v3.0. 76h8962.exe can be located on the IBM BBS (919-517-0001), anonymous ftp: ftp.pc.ibm.com/pub/pccbbs/pc_server, and the World Wide Web: http://www.pc.ibm.com/searchfiles.html
Insert the N1 diskette into the floppy drive and power on the system.
At the BOOT: prompt, type the following:
restart link=mdac Srom=mdac(0,x,0) <Enter>. where x = scsi-ID of device. Srom=cdrom drive (if present).
When prompted, insert the mdac BTLD into the floppy drive and press <Enter>.
Make sure the NUM LOCK key / light is on before selecting the keyboard type, otherwise possible key mis-mapping can occur. If installing Unix 3.2 v4.2 for the first time, always remember to install the Extended Utilities.
For mouse, select "Low Resolution Keyboard Mouse" (two button mouse). For video, it is recommended to select "IBM VGA" to install. This can be changed as necessary through sysadmsh after installation.
If installing from cdrom, select "Boot Time Loadable (BTLD) CD ROM" and press <Enter>.
If installing from tape, select "Boot Time Loadable (BTLD) TAPE" and press <Enter>.
The rest of the installation should proceed normally.
SCO OpenServer v5.00 - v5.0.4
Insert the BOOT diskette and power on the system.
At the BOOT: prompt, simply press <Enter>. No bootstring or BTLD is necessary.
At the media selection, select the options (bus, scsi-id, etc) for your system and continue with the installation. "Adapter", "bus" and "LUN" should all be 0 for the Micro Channel RAID adapter.
For mouse, select "Low Resolution Keyboard Mouse" (two button mouse). For video, it is recommended to select "IBM VGA" to install. This can be changed as necessary through scoadmin or the video configuration manager after installation.
It is recommended to select "deferred" for the network adapter until the Advanced Hardware Supplement for the operating system can be applied. Click here -> 
to view the SCO OpenServer Supplements section. This supplement contains updated network drivers and patches. The Advanced Hardware Supplement is already included in SCO OpenServer v5.0.4!
The rest of the installation should proceed normally. When the installation is complete and the "Safe to Power Off" message is displayed, remove the BOOT diskette from the floppy drive and press <Enter> to reboot.
For OpenServer v5.00 and v5.0.2:
Install Release Supplement D, Networking Supplement 1.0.0, and Advanced Hardware Supplement 5.2. Click here -> to view the SCO OpenServer Supplements. Install any other supplements as necessary. When complete, the Unix kernel will be re-linked. Shutdown and restart the system for the changes to take effect.á
