The diskette has the device driver for the SCSI host adapter.
You should be able to make one from the Compaq/HP Smartstart CD.
You will also need the serial number and activation key.
Does this system have RAID?. It seems to me that a two drive system, with one of 4 to 8gb and one of 72gb is rather unusual.
More likely the system has two 72gb drives in it that are mirrored.
Some RAID systems will only boot from drive 0 of a RAID 1 configuration, so it may appear that all data has been lost even though only one of the two drives has failed.
I strongly suggest that you find a local SCO reseller, or at least a local HP dealer in order to determine the exact system configuration before you do anything.

Hello,
I was reading the manual on rm and it states that when you use 'rm' the files are usual recoverable, how is this done?

CISS(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual CISS(4)
NAME
ciss -- HP/Compaq Smart ARRAY 5/6 RAID controllers
SYNOPSIS
ciss* at pci? function ?
DESCRIPTION
The ciss driver provides support for the CISS interface implemented by fifth and later generations of the HP/Compaq Smart ARRAY family of
controllers.
The CISS interface is defined in the document entitled CISS Command Interface for SCSI-3 Support Open Specification, Version 1.04, Valence
Number 1, Compaq Computer Corporation, 2000/11/27.
This driver supports several Compaq and HP controllers implementing the CISS interface, including:
o Compaq Smart Array 5300 version 1
o Compaq Smart Array 5300 version 2
o Compaq Smart Array 5i version 1
o Compaq Smart Array 5i version 2
o HP Smart Array 5312
o HP Smart Array 6i
o HP Smart Array 641
o HP Smart Array 642
o HP Smart Array 6400
o HP Smart Array 6400 EM
o HP Smart Array E200
o HP Smart Array E200i
o HP Smart Array P400
o HP Smart Array P400i
o HP Smart Array P600
o HP Smart Array P800
o HP Smart Array V100
o HP Smart Array 1 through 13
These controllers support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, JBOD, and superpositions of those configurations.
Although the controllers are actual RAID controllers, the ciss driver makes them look just like SCSI controllers. All RAID configuration
must be done through the controllers' BIOSes.
Hardware from previous generations of this product family may be supported by the cac(4) driver.
SEE ALSO

HISTORY
The ciss driver first appeared in NetBSD 3.1.
AUTHORS
The ciss driver was written by Michael Shalayeff <mickey@openbsd.org>, and ported to NetBSD by Tonnerre Lombard <tonnerre@netbsd.org>.
