Moving a driver off a Dos floppy
You can mount dos floppies in sco unix just as if they were formated for Unix.
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
cd /mnt
The only two things you need to note is that Unix will only see 8 letters of the name (so if you named the file whatever.doc unix is going to display it as whateve~.
The second is that you must unmount the disk ( umount /mnt) before removing the floppy disk. If you don't you could cause the system to panic.
BTLD stands for boot time loadable driver, and there are special rules for bringing a btld driver into your unix kernal when not doing an intial install. SCO should have instructions on their web site for this.
See SCO article 105694 and 109501
