OK, I understand. I will take another look at my options and maybe try different hardware. I appreciate all of your help, and I might be back again. Thanks!

I am now attempting to install Open Server 5.0.6 on a different server that is from about the same era, and I've gotten it to recognize the hard disk and begin the installation. Now I have a different, less understandable problem.

I will start by saying the CD/DVD drive is recognized in CMOS as the IDE Primary Slave device, and is selected as the first Boot device. The 5.0.6 disk is in that drive and it boots up just fine. When it gets to the part where it lists the devices, however, the drive is not listed - although my hard drive is listed. When installation begins, I get to the point when it asks where my installation files are located, so I select the IDE CD Rom from the list, and I get an error. It says that there is no controller found for the device.

If there is no controller found, how is it reading the disk to get the boot process to start? I don't understand this one, so any help will be appreciated. I know it's been a long time since I've installed this O/S, but I don't remember all of these issues before. Thanks.

SEND_ARP(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       SEND_ARP(8)

NAME

       send_arp - Send out one ARP packet with source/target IP and Ethernet hardware addresses suuplied by the user.

SYNOPSIS

       send_arp sndr_ip_addr sndr_hw_addr targ_ip_addr targ_hw_addr [src_int [src_hw_addr [dest_hw_addr]]]

DESCRIPTION

       send_arp This program sends out one ARP packet with source/target IP and Ethernet hardware addresses suuplied by the user.  It compiles and
       works on Linux and will probably work on any Unix that has SOCK_PACKET.

       The idea behind this program is a proof of a concept, nothing more.  It comes as is, no warranty.  However, you're allowed to use it  under
       one condition: you must use your brain simultaneously.  If this condition is not met, you shall forget about this program and go RTFM imme-
       diately.

OPTIONS

       sndr_ip_addr
	      Sender IP address for ARP packet.

       sndr_hw_addr
	      Sender Hardware address for ARP packet.

       targ_ip_addr
	      Target IP address for ARP packet.

       targ_hw_addr
	      Target Hardware address for ARP packet.

       src_int
	      Source Interface for ARP packet.

       src_hw_addr
	      Source layer2 Hardware address for ARP packet.

       dest_hw_addr
	      Destination layer2 Hardware address for ARP packet.
