If you cannot install because the system keeps rebooting from the
Boot Disk or the screen blanks after pressing <Enter> at the
Boot: prompt, one of two known situations may be causing this problem:
an improperly configured EGA or VGA adapter
an incompatible EGA or VGA adapter
If you have an EGA or a VGA adapter, check the following:
Verify that the adapter is supported by your SCO OpenServer system.
Check the SCO Hardware Compatibility Handbook or SCO's Compatible Hardware Web Pages.
Make sure that the switches on the adapter are set correctly.
Many cards have emulation modes; make sure that you are using the
card in its native mode.
You can also experiment with the
VGA, EGA, CGA, MONOCHROME
switches.
If the card has an AUTOSWITCH feature, the system may
hang during the startup hardware check.
