Need to create megasas driver floppy for new install
I have a new Dell PowerEdge 2900 with perc5/i and no os. I need to install SCO Openserver 6 and I need create a megasas BTLD floppy in order to install the os.
http://ftp.sco.com/pub/unixware7/714...egasas.1.1.txt
According to the link, I need to download the driver and create the floppy on with an Openserver 6 computer. I don't have a computer with Openserver 6 installed! I need OS6 to create the BTLD floppy but I can't create the BTLD floppy until OS6 is installed....
Following the instructions in the link above, I tried to create the floppy on Openserver 5.0.7 but it doesn't work, the floppy isn't read during the OS6 install. Anyone have any ideas on how I can create the BTLD floppy on Windows or Openserver 5.0.7?
And it can't hurt to ask... any good samaritan out there with OS6 willing to create and send me a megasas BTLD floppy?
