Operating Systems SCO stage 1 boot failure: error loading hd (40)/boot

Old 08-01-2010
Thx again, but my question is, can I boot the damaged hard disk using OpenServer-5.0.7Hw-10Jun05_1800.iso and mount partitions without installing a new system? I mean, without adding a second hard disk.

Get "Stage1 boot failure: error loading hd(40)/boot" after installation of SCO Openserver 5.0.7.
I've followed this instruction, but using a swiss german keyboard I cannot set (`) back quotes for this command:
Code:
# dparam /dev/rhd00 `dparam /dev/rhd00`

Keyboard layout is still US.
Is there any trick to get back quote (`) using physical swiss german keyboard and US layout?

BTW which US keyboard layout uses SCO Openserver 5.0.7 in a command shell running in RAM?
