IBM PCI SCSI-2 Fast/Wide adapter (Adaptec chip-set)
Unix 3.2 v4.2x and OpenDesktop/Server v3.0
Obtain the Support Level Supplement uod429a /SLS directory on the SCO bbs. This replacement N1 disk contains a new alad driver for the IBM PCI SCSI-2 Fast/Wide adapter. The SCO bbs can be accessed through anonymous FTP (ftp.sco.com) or through the World Wide Web (ftp://www.sco.com). This file is Unix "Z" compressed and will require a Unix system to uncompress and convert to diskette.
Also obtain ibm004b and ibm005b from the /VCD directory on the SCO bbs. ibm004b is a pre-boot N0 diskette that allows the operating system to ignore any spurious interrupts generated by the hardware. ibm005b is the Corollary C-bus II supplement that incorporates several enhancements for the Corollary Extended C-bus II system and is required to correct an "IP Spinning" error generated during heavy lan activity. These files are Unix "Z" compressed and will require a Unix system to uncompress and convert to diskettes.
Insert the ibm004b pre-boot diskette into the floppy drive and power on the system.
At the BOOT: prompt, remove the ibm004b diskette and insert the uod429a replacement N1 diskette into the floppy drive. Type the following: restart Sdsk=alad(0,x,0) Srom=alad(0,x,0) <Enter> where x = scsi-ID of device. Sdsk=boot drive, Srom=cdrom drive.
Whenever the installation program prompts for the N1 disk, use the uod429a diskette. Mark the original N1 diskette as obsolete.
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.
During installation, the installation query manager allows you to specify the scsi-ID of the cdrom. If you are installing from cdrom, DO NOT CHANGE THE ID FROM ITS DEFAULT OF 5. The above bootstring will override this setting.
Follow the installation procedure as normal. There may be error messages produced when the kernel is re-linked after installing the release supplement supplied with the SCO package. These can be safely ignored.
When the installation is complete and the Safe to Power Off message is displayed, re-insert the ibm004b pre-boot diskette into the floppy drive and press <Enter> to reboot.
At the BOOT: prompt, remove the ibm004b pre-boot diskette and insert the uod429a replacement N1 diskette into the floppy drive and type the following: fd(64)unix root=hd(40) swap=hd(41) Sdsk=alad(0,x,0) <Enter>. This will allow the kernel to be loaded from the floppy drive while accessing the root/swap filesystems on the harddrive.
At the prompt to press <Ctrl + D> to proceed with normal startup, enter the ROOT password to boot into system maintenance mode.
At this point, the /boot file needs to be replaced. Remove the uod429a replacement N1 diskette and insert the ibm004b pre-boot diskette into the floppy drive and type the following:
cd / <Enter>
mount -r /dev/fd0 /mnt <Enter>
mv /boot /boot- <Enter>
cp /mnt/boot /boot <Enter>
chown bin /boot <Enter>
chgrp bin /boot <Enter>
chmod 400 /boot <Enter>
umount /mnt <Enter>
Remove the ibm004b pre-boot diskette and insert the uod429a N1 diskette in the floppy drive and type the following: installpkg <Enter>
Select alad from the list of Boot-Time Loadable Drivers by typing: alad <Enter>
When complete, leave the uod429a N1 diskette in the floppy drive and type the following at the command prompt: custom <Enter>
Highlight Install and press <Enter>
Highlight A New Product and press <Enter>
Highlight Entire Product and press <Enter>
When prompted to Insert distribution Volume 1 simply press <Enter>
When prompted to Insert the requested Volume simply press <Enter>
Answer <Y> when prompted to re-link the kernel.
Answer <Y> to boot the kernel by default
Answer <Y> to rebuild the kernel environment
When finished, UOD429A for UNIX/ODT will be listed. Quit and exit
At the command prompt, remove the uod429a replacement N1 diskette and type the following: reboot <Enter>
The system will now reboot. At the BOOT: prompt, simply press <Enter> begin the boot process.
At the prompt to press <Ctrl + D> to preceed with normal startup, enter the ROOT password to boot into system maintenance mode.
At the prompt, type the following: custom <Enter>
Highlight Install and press <Enter>
Highlight A New Product and press <Enter>
Highlight Entire Product and press <Enter>
When prompted to Insert distribution Volume 1 insert the ibm005b C-bus II diskette and press <Enter>
When prompted to Insert the requested Volume simply press <Enter>
When finished, quit and exit
Note: If SCO MPX 3.0 is installed after this procedure, ibm005b must be re-installed using the custom utility above.
When complete, re-link the kernel by typing the following: cd /etc/conf/cf.d <Enter>
./link_unix -y <Enter> be sure to type the period (.) before the slash (/)
When the kernel has been re-linked, remove the ibm005b C-bus II diskette and type the following: reboot <Enter>.
All done. Store the replacement N1 diskette with the operating system disks/media.
OpenServer v5.00 - v5.0.4
Obtain one of the following self-extracting files from the IBM bbs if Symmetrical Multi-Processing (SMP) is to be installed on the system:
1. ibm006a.exe is required if running SCO OpenServer v5.0.2 and SMP with total system memory less than 512MB.
2. ibm007a.exe is required if running either SCO OpenServer v5.00 or v5.0.2 and SMP with total system memory of 512MB+ and using the SCO Large Server Supplement.
3. ibm008a.exe is required if running SCO OpenServer v5.00 and SMP with total system memory less than 512MB.
These SMP supplements contain a new module for the Corollary library required to prevent the IBM PC Server 720 from panicking just after the hardware screen is displayed during the boot phase when running SMP with processors faster than 100Mhz. These files can be located on the IBM bbs (919-517-0001), anonymous ftp (ftp.pc.ibm.com), and the World Wide Web (http://www.us.pc.ibm.com/files.html). Documentation for these supplements can also be located on the IBM bbs as ibm006a.txt, ibm007a.txt, and ibm008a.txt. SCO OpenServer v5.0.4 does not require any of these supplements.
For SCO OpenServer v5.00 and v5.0.2 only:
Obtain the file 84h2978.exe from the IBM bbs if the 7800 Family Manager diskette for SCO Unix, Unixware, and OpenServer is not available. This self-extracting file (under DOS or OS/2) will create a diskette containing a newer alad325 BTLD (Boot Time Loadable Driver) which supports all IBM PCI SCSI-2 controllers (Adaptec 7870 and 7880 chip-sets) running SCO OpenServer v5.00 and v5.0.2. 84H2978.exe can be located on the IBM bbs (919-517-0001), anonymous ftp (ftp.pc.ibm.com),
and the World Wide Web (http://www.us.pc.ibm.com/files.html). SCO OpenServer v5.0.4 already includes this new driver!
Obtain cbus530.exe from the IBM bbs. This self-extracting file is the Corollary C-bus II supplement that incorporates several enhancements for the Corollary Extended C-bus II system and is required to correct an "IP Spinning" error generated during heavy lan activity. cbus530.exe can be located on the IBM bbs (919-517-0001), anonymous ftp (ftp.pc.ibm.com/pub/pccbbs/pc_servers/cbus530.exe), and the World Wide Web (http://www.pc.ibm.com).
For SCO OpenServer v5.00:
Obtain the file oss411a.boot from the "/SLS" directory on the SCO bbs. This PC Server 720 supplement consists of a new N0 pre-boot diskette which also ensures that any spurious interrupts generated by the hardware are ignored. The SCO bbs can be accessed through anonymous FTP (ftp.sco.com) or through the World Wide Web (ftp://www.sco.com). Do not use oss411a if installing OpenServer v5.0.2 or v5.0.4!
Insert the oss411a pre-boot diskette in the floppy drive and power on the system. At the BOOT: prompt, remove the oss411a pre-boot diskette and insert the Boot diskette. Type the following at the BOOT: prompt: restart ahslink=alad325 Sdsk=alad(0,x,0) <Enter> where x = scsi-ID of device. Sdsk = scsi boot disk.
For SCO OpenServer v5.0.2:
Insert the Boot diskette in the floppy drive and power on the system. The oss411a pre-boot supplement is not required.
Type the following at the BOOT: prompt: restart link=alad325 Sdsk=alad(0,x,0) <Enter> where x = scsi-ID of device. Sdsk = scsi boot disk.
For SCO OpenServer v5.0.4:
Insert the Boot diskette in the floppy drive and power on the system. The oss411a pre-boot supplement is not required.
Type the following at the BOOT: prompt: restart Sdsk=alad(0,x,0) <Enter> where x = scsi-ID of device. Sdsk = scsi boot disk.
Insert the alad325 BTLD diskette when prompted and press <Enter>. While this is loading, a message stating that "Table io_init contains (at 21) another routine named aladinit" may occur followed by a prompt to replace a module, add aladinit (a), or do nothing (n). At the prompt, type 21 to replace aladinit. Continue with the installation.
At the media selection, select the option (bus, scsi-id, etc) for your system and continue with the installation.
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 "defered" for the network adapter until the Advanced Hardware Supplement for the operating system can be applied (see the <a href="os5supp.htm">SCO OpenServer Supplements</a> section).
