Introduction

SCO UNIX is the first UNIX operating system licensed for IBM-compatible micro-
computers. The integrated communications, file system, international application
support, and documentation create an ideal platform for those requiring a full-fea-
tured, UNIX-based operating system. SCO UNIX takes full advantage of the capa-
bilities of the 80386 and above microprocessors.

To connect SCSI devices to one or more host adapters, you must place the proper
host adapter drivers in the SCO UNIX kernel. Your Symbios Logic Boot Time
Loadable Driver (BTLD) diskette contains three packages:

bhba is the driver for SCO UNIX 3.2v4x

slha is the driver for SCO UNIX OpenServer

CAM3 is the SCSI configuration tool

You must link-edit the proper driver into the SCO UNIX kernel. The kernel must
reside on the boot drive: either an internal, non-SCSI hard drive (IDE, ESDI, or
ST506), or a SCSI hard drive attached to host adapter 0 with SCSI ID 0 and LUN 0.
The BTLD permits an easy installation of UNIX with the software provided by
SCO. The CAM3 SCSI configuration tool simplifies adding SCSI peripheral device
support into the operating system.

SCO UNIX 3.2v4x provides installation diskettes labeled N1, N2, and M1. Addi-
tional software is provided on CD-ROM, tape cartridge, or diskettes. These media,
along with the Symbios Logic BTLD diskette, are needed to perform a new installa-
tion of your bhba driver onto a boot drive.
