Was this the boot drive or secondary drive from the original system.
If it was the boot drive, try putting it into a standard P3 machine, and see if will boot, (assumes that you know the root password).
If it is a secondary drive, then you should download the SCO 5.0.7 ISO file from
The SCO Group, Inc. | Support | Update | Download | Release
and install with a 60 day eval license, onto a fresh hard drive, and then afterwards add the old disk as a secondary drive. There are earlier posts that will guide you in adding a second disk that has data on it.

NAME
mkfs.bfs - make an SCO bfs filesystem
SYNOPSIS
mkfs.bfs [options] device [block-count]
DESCRIPTION
mkfs.bfs creates an SCO bfs filesystem on a block device (usually a disk partition or a file accessed via the loop device).
The block-count parameter is the desired size of the filesystem, in blocks. If nothing is specified, the entire partition will be used.
OPTIONS
-N, --inodes number
Specify the desired number of inodes (at most 512). If nothing is specified, some default number in the range 48-512 is picked
depending on the size of the partition.
-V, --vname label
Specify the volume label. I have no idea if/where this is used.
-F, --fname name
Specify the filesystem name. I have no idea if/where this is used.
-v, --verbose
Explain what is being done.
-c This option is silently ignored.
-l This option is silently ignored.
-h, --help
Display help text and exit.
-V, --version
Display version information and exit. Option -V only works as --version when it is the only option.
EXIT CODES
The exit code returned by mkfs.bfs is 0 when all went well, and 1 when something went wrong.
SEE ALSO
