1. Can't cpio to usb device. Getting an error message device not found

Hi

I am at the beginning of your way. I mean I wan to create CD with bootable SCO (kind of rescue CD for SCO). Do you have any procedure/advices where could I start? I would be very grateful for any help.

Assuming your sco6 pc has cd-burner.

Then change directory to sbin and do a listing of:
# cd /sbin
# l emergency*
-r-xr--r-- 1 bin bin 10821 Aug 18 13:49 emergency_disk@
-rwxrwx--x 1 bin bin 26445 Aug 18 13:49 emergency_rec@

then just do this
# emergency_disk cdrom1

Just follow the instructions and u will be ok.
Here is where I found it

Under SCO OpenServer 6.0.0 and UnixWare 7.1.4, I can't access the USB DAT Tape Drive via the newly created Emergency Recovery CD (DRF) in order to do a system restore.

Great thanks!!

I'll check but as I remember my sco hasn't got any cd-burner. If so I'll try to find any and install it or I'll use pendrive as you did.
