Adaptec 7800 Family Manager

Boot the New Kernel

To reboot the computer with the new kernel, follow these steps:
1
Follow the onscreen instructions to reboot your system,
usually by pressing Enter.
2
Check the host adapter BIOS messages to verify that all your
installed SCSI devices are listed.
If some or all of your installed SCSI devices do not appear at
this time, your SCSI cables may be loose, or the SCSI device
setup may not be complete. If so, go back and correct any
problem before proceeding.
3
Wait for UNIX to complete bootup with the new kernel.
Refer to Troubleshooting on page 6-13 if the system crashes or if
panic (UNIX error) messages are displayed during bootup.
The alad / alad325 driver for your 7800 Family host adapter should
now be ready for use.

Using SCO UNIX and the Host Adapter

This section contains useful information on using SCO UNIX and
your host adapter.

Using Multiple Host Adapters

If you are adding an additional 7800 Family host adapter to a system
with a 7800 Family host adapter already installed, follow the
instructions in the SCO UNIX documentation for adding devices
using the mkdev command. When the system asks for the host
adapter prefix, type alad or blad and press Enter.

Changing the Boot Disk

If you are changing the boot device from a non-SCSI hard disk to a
SCSI hard disk attached to an Adaptec 7800 Family host adapter,
you must reinstall SCO UNIX.
If you are already booting from a SCSI hard disk and wish to boot
from a SCSI hard disk attached to an Adaptec 7800 Family host
adapter, you may elect to either reinstall SCO UNIX with the new
driver (see Installing the Driver When Installing SCO UNIX on
