I got a licensed copy of SCO openserver release 5.0.5 and am trying to install it on an HP server. I am used to installing Windows server and this was my first time to have a serious interaction with Unix.
Now I know why it is not as popular. The installation is text based, no GUI. After booting with the CD, a message comes saying No Hard Disk Found. From this point on I start to panic. I google the OS and finally get to know that I need BTLDs or Boot-Time Loadable Drivers for the SCSI controller. This happens to be an LSI Logic LSI 1030.
So am still looking for those btlds which are proving hard to find. It looks like a number of people have had this problem as well. I cant find the BTLD on the sco website, maybe am not doing the right searching. But why should it be this hard to install SCO. Someone told me after the installation you have to look for the drivers for things like the NIC.
I hope the latest release of SCO is better, that is to say easier to install.......
