Data SCO Open Server 5.05 Installaltuion

I'm in the process of installing SCO Open Server 5.05 on the following platform:

Hardware:

IBM 300PL
64 MB RAM
Yamaha 16/4/16 CDRW (Internal defined on SCSI ID 3 LUN 0)

I'm able to boot from the CD and advance to the Installation screen but when it asks for where the media source will be coming from, the install fails to recognise my CDRW.

Do I need drivers for this CDRW installed first ..(where do I get it from for SCO and how and when do I install it)?

Am i right by thinking that my internal CDRW drive should be picked up by default. At the moment its defaulting to FLOPPY.

Also I intend to put Informix SE on this machine after the install. What I'm thinking of doing is just dumping (using cpio) the /data (guessing filesystem here) directory where Informix is installed from an existing system and then restoring it to the new system that I'm installing SCO on. Yes both the system have the same operating system.

Will this work???????

If not please advise why not and a solution that I could implement.

Thanks
