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.
1.
The SCO OpenServer 5 system automatically creates a file unix.safe
during installation. To access this UNIX kernel, type after the boot
prompt:
Boot
: unix.safe
Press Enter.
2.
Log on as system administrator "root".
3.
Insert the SDMS BTLD diskette in the floppy drive and type:
# installpkg
Press Enter to continue.
4.
A prompt appears to insert the requested diskette. Since the BTLD
diskette is already inserted, press Enter.
5.
A prompt asks for the name of the package. Type:
slha
Press Enter to continue.
6.
If a driver is already present from a previous installation, a prompt
inquires about replacing it. Reply y for yes.
7.
Once the install package (installpkg) has completed, relink the kernel
by typing:
# /etc/conf/cf.d/link_unix
8.
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
Press Enter. The system backs up the old kernel.
