SCO Will Not Boot
Hello to all , I am new to this forum and also i have very less knowledge about sco unix, but I have good knowlage about Dos-Windows file systems since 1990 year
and i am a professional IT person about Networking and computer hardware but as i said not know much about Unix based systems
, anyway
, I have an important problem about SCO UNIX 5.0 booting, i could not found any solution over here or google how to fix it , the problem is system stops responding and nothing happens until forever
at Kernel : 100 HZ bla .. bla .. as shown in the picture , i am sure that it is a file system error on HDD that is not allowing UNIX to continue load operating system , i think it must be a command like checkdisk to fix file system ( i think ,most of you know that , it was using for some time to fix windows booting issues or to fix Dos or for repairing FAT-FAT32-NTFS file systems as well) , but also i found a file command like fsck command (i think its like chkdsk.exe which is on windows or dos) but what ever i do , i could not make the command to run to fix the file system , it gives an error like dos , but i don't remember exactly (like "bad command or file name") any urgent help is welcome for fixing the system and make to work OS again , sorry for my bad english
PS:I have no boot or rescue boot CD - or FDD and dont know how to make it
I Tested HDD for bad sector like HDD re generator and has no bad sector
I Tested Ram module with like Memtest 86 and has no ram problem
No newly installed or uninstalled hardware on the system
The problem is exactly a hanging on like the picture attached
Boot
:
is accessible and accepts commands like "ls" but dont accept commands like "fsck"
Please urgent Help

bsod(6x) XScreenSaver manual bsod(6x)
NAME
bsod - Blue Screen of Death emulator
SYNOPSIS
bsod [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-install] [-visual visual] [-delay
seconds] [-fps]
DESCRIPTION
The bsod program is the finest in personal computer emulation.
bsod steps through a set of screens, each one a recreation of a different failure mode of an operating system. Systems depicted include
Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT, MS-DOS, AmigaDOS 1.3, Linux, SCO UNIX, BSD UNIX, HPUX, Solaris, Tru64, VMS, HVX/GCOS6, IBM OS/390,
OS/2, MacOS (MacsBug, Bomb, Sad Mac, and OSX), Atari ST, Apple ][+, and NCD X Terminals.
OPTIONS
bsod accepts the following options:
-window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
-root Draw on the root window.
-mono If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
-install
Install a private colormap for the window.
-visual visual
Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.
-delay delay
The delay between displaying one crash and another.
-only which
Tell it to run only one mode, e.g., -only HPUX.
-fps Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
XENVIRONMENT
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
X RESOURCES
Notable X resources supported include the following, which control which hacks are displayed and which aren't. doWindows, doNT, doWin2K,
doAmiga, doMac, doMac1, doMacsBug, doMacX, doSCO, doAtari, doBSD, doLinux, doSparcLinux, doHPPALinux, doBlitDamage, doSolaris, doHPUX,
doApple2, doOS390, doTru64, doVMS, doMSDOS, doOS2, doHVX, and doATM. Each of these is a Boolean resource, they all default to true, except
for doAtari, doBSD, doSparcLinux, and doHPPALinux, which are turned off by default, because they're really not all that interesting looking
unless you're a fan of those systems.
There are command-line options for all of these: e.g., -bsd, -no-bsd. (Also note the -only option.)
BUGS
Unlike the systems being simulated, bsod does not require a reboot after running.
