The SCO OpenServer installation CD-ROM is now bootable. This allows for
a faster installation and allows you to skip the steps which require you
to insert and load the installation boot floppy.
You can use this feature if your system BIOS supports
CD-ROM as a boot option.
You cannot use this feature if
your system BIOS recognizes only a proprietary
bootable CD-ROM format.
Enter your system's BIOS configuration program. This program
might be accessed from a configuration floppy or by pressing keys
immediately after you power-cycle the system.
Specify CD-ROM as the primary boot device (before C:
or A:).
Save this change to the system BIOS and exit the configuration
program.
Shut down your system.
Insert the SCO OpenServer CD-ROM and remove any other media from
other boot devices on your system.
Resume the standard installation procedure at
step 5.
For step 6, press <Enter> without inserting any additional media,
unless you have a Boot Time Loadable Driver to install.
For step 7, you do not need to insert the CD-ROM as
it is already present.
NOTE:
Because not all installation utilities
are aware that the CD-ROM drive is emulating the
floppy drive, you might see an error message or prompt
that mistakenly refers to the floppy drive.
If you are using the bootable CD-ROM feature,
assume that messages you receive that refer to installation
media pertain to the CD-ROM drive.
