You don't need a boot diskette if you can set the cd rom device as a boot device in the CMOS.

@jgt......it's been a while since I seriously used SCO but, correct me if I'm wrong, aren't the floppy images also on the CD media somewhere? If so, the OP could somehow transfer those images to floppy on another machine (using 'dd' or something).

But, yes, on version 5.0.6 the CD was bootable.

The short answer is I don't know.
The long answer; I found a 5.0.6 boot diskette. I also found a 5.0.5 cd. The cd is not readable on a Windows XP system, and is not mountable on an SCO system, so my assumption is that a copy of the boot diskette is not on the cd.

I just wonder whether, if you boot up on the SCO CD and break out to a shell, you could run 'mkdev fd' and create floppies.

I found this, but it applies to 5.0.7, and the mount fails with 5.0.5 media. If I can find a 5.0.6, I may try it.

@jgt....that must be what I remembered but it was so long ago it was a deep and distant memory. Brilliant. Thanks. That might help the OP.

I fought a battle long ago with the 5.0.5 boot floppy. As supplied, it is corrupt and the solution was to use a 5.0.4 boot floppy. This was confirmed by the Compuserve support group for SCO stuff, primarily JPR.

5.0.6 CD from my XP has an images directory, with a boot directory under it, and 4 boot images in there.

This from a copy of my original set.

Also have the boot loader that I could image if needed.
