OK, I have my new hard drive installed with the IDE / SATA adapter. Installing from the original SCO 5.0.6 boot disk appears to work fine, I am not linking to any particular driver for the HD and it appears to be recognized. However, when I get to the part about selecting my CD device, the installation does not find the CD. I know from the BIOS that it is attached to the Secondary IDE channel as the Master. Is there some kind of problem with having it as the Secondary Master? I did not change that cable at all, so I know this is how it was configured the last time 5.0.6 was installed. Any ideas why it won't find my CD? I know the CD drive has power, because the tray opens and closes. The "working" light comes on when I insert the CD. However when the installation routine says it is checking the CD the light does not come on. I don't know what to do now. Any help is appreciated.

viaide
VIAIDE(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual VIAIDE(4)
NAME
viaide -- AMD, NVIDIA and VIA IDE disk controllers driver
SYNOPSIS
viaide* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000
options PCIIDE_AMD756_ENABLEDMA
DESCRIPTION
The viaide driver supports the following IDE controllers and provides the interface with the hardware for the ata driver:
- Advanced Micro Devices AMD-756, 766, 768 and CS5536 IDE Controllers
- NVIDIA nForce, nForce2, nForce2 400, nForce3, nForce3 250, nForce4, MCP04, MCP55, MCP61, MCP65, MCP67 IDE and SATA Controllers.
- VIA Technologies VT82C586, VT82C586A, VT82C596A, VT82C686A, VT8233A, VT8235, VT8237/VT8237R IDE Controllers, VT6421 Serial RAID
Controller and CX700 IDE Controller.
The 0x0002 flag forces the viaide driver to disable DMA on chipsets for which DMA would normally be enabled. This can be used as a debugging
aid, or to work around problems where the IDE controller is wired up to the system incorrectly.
SEE ALSO
ata(4), atapi(4), intro(4), pci(4), pciide(4), wd(4), wdc(4)
NOTES
Drives on the VT6421 Serial RAID Controller can only be accessed after they have been configured into RAID or JBOD sets via its BIOS. It is
also inaptly named as it has both SATA and PATA interfaces.
BUGS
The AMD756 chip revision D2 has a bug affecting DMA (but not Ultra-DMA) modes. The workaround documented by AMD is to not use DMA on any
drive which does not support Ultra-DMA modes. This does not appear to be necessary on all drives, the PCIIDE_AMD756_ENABLEDMA option can be
used to force multiword DMA on the buggy revisions. Multiword DMA can eventually be disabled on a per-drive basis with config flags, see
wd(4). The bug, if triggered, will cause a total system hang.
The timings used for the PIO and DMA modes for controllers listed above are for a PCI bus running at 30 or 33 MHz. This driver may not work
properly on overclocked systems.
