V. SCO UNIX DRIVERS

SCO OpenServer provides only one installation diskette, labeled Boot Disk. This
diskette, along with your Symbios Logic BTLD diskette (containing your slha driver),
and other software media, are used during a SCO OpenServer installation.

The following sections provide instruction on configuring the SCO UNIX kernel
with your Symbios Logic driver, installing SCO UNIX onto a hard drive, and add-
ing SCSI peripheral devices. These instructions assume you are familiar with UNIX
system administration.

Features

SCSI configuration tool

Description

UNIX installation on a SCSI system requires creation of a SCO UNIX kernel that
contains the SCSI driver to support SCSI devices. There are two possible installa-
tion procedures:

1

Loading or updating the proper Symbios Logic driver on a boot drive.

2

Installing UNIX and the proper Symbios Logic driver for the first time on a
SCSI boot drive.
