Step 2. Insert a formatted 3.5-inch (1.44 Mbyte) diskette into your A:
floppy drive.
Step 3. At the command prompt, type:
fdimage -qv symitu.dd A:
Note: This command works when running MS-DOS, Windows 9x,
Windows Me, Windows NT, or Windows 2000. If you are
running antivirus software, LSI Logic recommends that you
temporarily disable it when running the fdimage program.
Otherwise, the fdimage program may not be able to get
exclusive access to your floppy drive, which it requires to
write the image to a diskette.
Step 4. Label this diskette “SYMHISL Driver Update Diskette.”
Step 5. Use this diskette for Solaris installations.
You may also download the current Solaris 7 or Solaris 8 driver from the
LSI Logic Web site at:

connected to this Web site, place your cursor on the Get Drivers option
in the menu bar. Click on the Drivers selection. Choose the Solaris 7 or
Solaris 8 operating system for SCSI and click on the Go button. Follow
the instructions on subsequent screens to download the drivers.
