C. Existing System Installation

This procedure assumes SCO UNIX is already installed on a hard disk drive. This installation is necessary to build a new UNIX kernel that includes the proper LSI host adapter driver. The basic steps for accomplishing this are outlined below. For more details on UNIX installation, refer to the SCO UNIX System Administrator’s Reference Manual.

The SCO OpenServer 5 system automatically creates a file unix.safe during installation. To access this UNIX kernel, type after the “boot:” prompt:

unix.safe

Press Enter.

C1. Installing the lsil driver

1.Insert the SDMS BTLD diskette in the floppy drive and type:

#installpkg

Press Enter to continue.

2.A prompt appears to insert the requested diskette. Since the BTLD diskette is already inserted, press Enter.

3.A prompt asks for the name of the package. Type:

lsil

Press Enter to continue.

4.If a driver is already present from a previous installation, a prompt inquires about replacing it. Reply y for yes.

5.Once the install package (installpkg) has completed, relink the kernel by typing:

#/etc/conf/cf.d/link_unix

6.The system executes the command then prompts for a series of responses:

a. “Do you want this kernel to boot by default (y/n)?”

Type: y and press Enter. The system backs up the old kernel.

b. “Do you want the kernel environment rebuilt (y/n)?”

Type: y and press Enter.
