SCO Unix 5.0.6 SATA in compatibility mode
I am very new to SCO Unix so I apologize if this is a easy or dumb question.

I have a 160GB SATA hard drive and SATA CD-ROM drive connected to one of my systems. I have both the drives running in compatibility mode. I also have the hard drive set as a primary master and the CD-ROM drive set as Secondary Master.

I am currently trying to install SCO Unix 5.0.6. I have downloaded the WD bootloader for 5.0.6 and have done the

Boot: defbootstr link="wd506"

It replaces the default WD driver on the CD. When I enter the installation, I get the

Error 22: While getting fs type

I on the HDD I have 5.0.7 installed just to familiar myself with sco unix until I was able to get a copy of 5.0.6(thanks JGT). I noticed that while 5.0.7 boots up on the %adapter display it shows,

%adapter ha=0 type=usb_msto UDI SCSI HBA (on 5.0.7)

while the bootup for 5.0.6 for the installation comes up, I don't have any of those displaying.

I have also noticed that in 5.0.7 it says that my "root hard drive" is connected to the ST506 controller.

Because I believe that the 5.0.6 boot up isn't configured properly, it is getting the "Error 22" problem I mentioned earlier.

So my question is, is there a defbootstr to configure which IDE controller it uses on the install?

NAME

       mega_sas - SCSI HBA driver for LSI MegaRAID SAS controller

DESCRIPTION

       The mega_sas MegaRAID controller host bus adapter driver  is a  SCSA-compliant  nexus  driver that supports the Dell PERC 5/E, 5/i, 6/E and
       6/i RAID controllers, the IBM ServeRAID-MR10k SAS/SATA  controller and  the  LSI  MegaRAID  SAS/SATA  8308ELP,  8344ELP,  84016E,  8408ELP,
       8480ELP, 8704ELP, 8704EM2, 8708ELP, 8708EM2, 8880EM2 and 8888ELP series of controllers.

       Supported  RAID	features  include RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 6, RAID spans 10, 50 and 60, online capacity expansion (OCE), online RAID level
       migration (RLM), auto resume after loss of  system power during arrays, array rebuild or reconstruction (RLM) and configurable stripe  size
       up  to  1MB. Additional supported RAID features include check consistency for background data integrity, patrol read for media scanning and
       repairing, 64 logical drive support, up to 64TB LUN support, automatic rebuild and global and dedicated hot spare support.

CONFIGURATION

       The mega_sas.conf file contains no user configurable parameters. Please configure your hardware through the related  BIOS  utility  or  the
       MegaCli	configuration  utility.  If  you  want to install to a drive attached to a mega_sas HBA, you should create the virtual drive first
       from the BIOS before running the Solaris install. You can obtain the MegaCli utility from the LSI website.

       The mega_sas device can support up to  64 virtual disks. Note that BIOS numbers the virtual disks as 1 through 64, however in  the  Solaris
       operating  environment virtual disks are numbered from 0 to 63.	Also note that SAS and SATA drives cannot be configured into the same vir-
       tual disk.

KNOWN PROBLEMS AND LIMITATIONS

       The mega_sas driver does not support the LSI MegaRAID SAS 8204ELP, 8204XLP, 8208ELP, and 8208XLP controllers.
