NOTES: Specific help text for each driver appears in the middle of the screen as you scroll down the list. The Loaded Drivers window below the list of available drivers displays the names of drivers that are loaded and operational. For a new installation, this list is initially empty. For a selective installation, the list shows the drivers already running.

If you have two controllers that use the same driver, such as two Adaptec AIC-7890 host adapters, you must load the same driver twice—once for each controller.

19.At the Save existing file Y/N prompt, type \ or Q as necessary and press <Enter>.

20.Press <Alt><Esc> to switch to the console prompt, type ORDG￿

D￿?DLF￿￿X￿￿KDP, and press <Enter>. A list of slot numbers separated by commas is displayed.
