SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 Installation problem

we are installing Openserver 5.0.7, system have SAS controller (Hard Disk Attached) as well as Adaptec ultra 320 controller (Tape Drive Attached).

At the time of installation we link both driver BTLD

Boot: Defbootstr link=accraid ad320

Aftes succesfully installation of accraid btld which is SAS controller when system ask AD320 Driver machine was hangs and we have to reset the machine.

but when we install ad320 btld first

Boot: Defbootstr link=ad320 accraid

It will install both Driver succesfully as well as OS but after complete installation when we reboot the machine it will stop at Boot: when we press enter it will give followinf error

hd(40) not found.

can any one please help us to solve this issue.

Regards

Add
Sdsk=accraid(0,0,0,0)
to the boot prompt
or possibly
Sdsk=accraid(0,0,0,1)
Also check to see if the 320 controller is installed closer to the keyboard plug than the RAID controller.
The boot controller should be in the lower numbered slot(closer to the keyboard plug)
If you currently have the OS installed successfully on the RAID controller then you may get away with:

Boot:defbootstr Ssdk=accraid(0,0,0,0)

without having to re-install, then modify /etc/default/boot to include the Sdsk phrase.

Remove the 320 controller.
Does it boot?

Also after removing AD320 no Boot.

Re-install without the 320 controller.
Make note of the values for Sdsk in /etc/conf/cf.d/mscsi
Then add the controller afterwards, making sure that the BIOS in the 320 controller is disabled.
