3 1/2" to 5 1/4" UNIX Driver Disk Conversion

-> THIS PROCEDURE ASSUMES THAT AN SCO UNIX SYSTEM IS AVAILABLE WITH A 5 1/4"
-> FLOPPY AS THE A: DRIVE AND A 3 1/2" FLOPPY AS THE B: DRIVE


 1) Make sure 3 1/2" driver diskette is write protected.

 2) Make sure you are logged in as root with # prompt, and get into floppy
    disk file system creation program by typing: mkdev fd<ENTER>

 3) Choose option 2 (96TPI, DOUBLE SIDED 15 SECTORS PER TRACK) from the
    first menu.

 4) Reply to the following prompts:

    DO YOU WANT TO USE FLOPPY DRIVE 0 OR 1?

       Choose option 0.

    CHOICES FOR CONTENTS OF FLOPPY FILESYSTEM?

       Choose option 1 (FILESYSTEM).

    INSERT A 96DS15 FLOPPY INTO DRIVE AND PRESS <RETURN> TO CONTINUE OR Q
    TO QUIT.

       Insert a blank 5 1/4" disk into the A: drive and press <ENTER>.

    WOULD YOU LIKE TO FORMAT THE FLOPPY FIRST?(Y/N).

       Choose Y.  System will now format and verify format of floppy.

    DO YOU WANT TO USE THE DEFAULT FILE SYSTEM TYPE AFS?(Y/N)

       Choose N.

    PLEASE ENTER A FILE SYSTEM TYPE FROM <AFS EAFS S51K XENX) OR Q TO QUIT.

       Choose S51K.

    Now you will be back to the first menu.  Press Q to get back to a #
    prompt.

 5) Type: mount /dev/fd0 /mnt<ENTER>.

 6) Type: mkdir /mnt2<ENTER>.

 7) Insert the 3 1/2" driver disk into the B: drive.

 8) Type: mount /dev/fd1 /mnt2<ENTER>.

 9) Type: copy -rom /mnt2 /mnt<ENTER>.

10) Type: umount /mnt<ENTER>.

11) Type: umount /mnt2<ENTER>.

12) Now remove both floppy disks from the drives.  You now have a 5 1/4"
    version of the Adaptec SCO Unix driver.  You can install the driver
    using the installpkg program or use it as a boot time loadable driver
    for a fresh install.


If you are doing a fresh install using our driver as a boot time loadable 
driver, boot from N1 install diskette.  When you get to the : prompt type
in link<ENTER>.  When the system asks which driver you wish to load type
alad if you are using the 294x/aic7870 card/chip or arad if you are using
the 274x/284x/aic7770 card/chip.  You will be prompted to insert our
driver disk.  Put in our disk and follow the regular Unix installation
procedure.
