The failing disk is IDE.
Yet another "hurdle" with copying the iso file to floppy. I have tried four different floppies in the SCO drive, using the dosformat command. Each time the screen says "Formatting..." and the light on the floppy drive is on, but then it fails with: "dosformat: Error formatting drive"
I don't know if it is all of my floppy disks, or the drive just isn't working right. Like I said, all of this hardware is at least 12 years old. I have spare hardware I can experiment with - I have server hardware that was purchased around 2008, it has a CD and floppy drive in it. I could install a new hard drive and set it up as IDE, if I could locate (or I may have) the BTLD driver(s) that would allow me to do a new install of the 5.0.6 software.
At this point, do you think my best shot would be with newer hardware, or trying to go with an installation inside a VM?
I really appreciate your help.

thread-keyring
THREAD-KEYRING(7) Linux Programmer's Manual THREAD-KEYRING(7)
NAME
thread-keyring - per-thread keyring
DESCRIPTION
The thread keyring is a keyring used to anchor keys on behalf of a process. It is created only when a thread requests it. The thread
keyring has the name (description) _tid.
A special serial number value, KEY_SPEC_THREAD_KEYRING, is defined that can be used in lieu of the actual serial number of the calling
thread's thread keyring.
From the keyctl(1) utility, '@t' can be used instead of a numeric key ID in much the same way, but as keyctl(1) is a program run after
forking, this is of no utility.
Thread keyrings are not inherited across clone(2) and fork(2) and are cleared by execve(2). A thread keyring is destroyed when the thread
that refers to it terminates.
Initially, a thread does not have a thread keyring. If a thread doesn't have a thread keyring when it is accessed, then it will be created
if it is to be modified; otherwise the operation fails with the error ENOKEY.
