I'm under huge pressure to recover data from an old server that only gets booted very infrequently. The data on it is urgently required - isn't always??!
..
Server is an HP DL380G5 which is running SCO Unixware 7.11
..
It has 3 partitions in a RAID 5 Configuration: 1 of 10GB (I assume it boots off this one) and then 1 of 400GB and the last one is about 150GB. All partitions are marked OK.
The error on booting is “FATAL BOOT ERROR: Can't load stage 3”.
It does not have a FD drive only a CDROM drive.
..
I downloaded an ISO CD image from the SCO support site labelled UnixWare-7.1.4-June2008 ISO Image. In the hope that this will give me access to the OS where I could use my scripting skills to check for issues e.g. mount drives, run a fsck etc.
..
And I am able to boot off that but end up in a basic BCP - /stand - (which includes boot and unix files ) ... but from this point I'm not sure how to use it and therefore I'm not sure where to go from there ....
I would be very, very grateful for some quick step-by-step assistance for recovering the system - what to check for etc
Thanks in advance!!!

HD(4) Linux Programmer's Manual HD(4)NAME
hd - MFM/IDE hard disk devices
DESCRIPTION
The hd* devices are block devices to access MFM/IDE hard disk drives in raw mode. The master drive on the primary IDE controller (major
device number 3) is hda; the slave drive is hdb. The master drive of the second controller (major device number 22) is hdc and the slave
hdd.
General IDE block device names have the form hdX, or hdXP, where X is a letter denoting the physical drive, and P is a number denoting the
partition on that physical drive. The first form, hdX, is used to address the whole drive. Partition numbers are assigned in the order
the partitions are discovered, and only nonempty, nonextended partitions get a number. However, partition numbers 1-4 are given to the
four partitions described in the MBR (the "primary" partitions), regardless of whether they are unused or extended. Thus, the first logi-
cal partition will be hdX5. Both DOS-type partitioning and BSD-disklabel partitioning are supported. You can have at most 63 partitions
on an IDE disk.
For example, /dev/hda refers to all of the first IDE drive in the system; and /dev/hdb3 refers to the third DOS "primary" partition on the
second one.
They are typically created by:
mknod -m 660 /dev/hda b 3 0
mknod -m 660 /dev/hda1 b 3 1
mknod -m 660 /dev/hda2 b 3 2
...
mknod -m 660 /dev/hda8 b 3 8
mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb b 3 64
mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb1 b 3 65
mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb2 b 3 66
...
mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb8 b 3 72
chown root:disk /dev/hd*
