Make sure 3.5" driver diskette is write protected.
Make sure you are logged in as root with # prompt, and get into floppy disk
file system creation program by typing: mkdev fd<ENTER>.
Choose option 2 (96TPI, DOUBLE SIDED 15 SECTORS PER TRACK) from the first
menu.
DO YOU WANT TO USE FLOPPY DRIVE 0 OR 1? Choose option 0.
CHOICES FOR CONTENTS OF FLOPPY FILESYSTEM? Choose option 1 (FILESYSTEM).
INSERT A 96DS15 FLOPPY INTO DRIVE AND PRESS <RETURN> TO CONTINUE OR Q TO QUIT.
Insert a blank 5.25" disk into the A: drive and press <ENTER>.

Type: mount -r /dev/fd1 /mnt2<ENTER>.
Type: copy -rom /mnt2 /mnt<ENTER>.
Type: umount /mnt<ENTER>.
Type: umount /mnt2<ENTER>.
Now remove both floppy disks from the drives. You now have a 5 1/4" version
of the Adaptec SCO Unix driver. You can install the driver using the
installpkg program or use it as a boot time loadable driver for a fresh
install.
If you are doing a fresh install using our driver as a boot time loadable
driver, boot from N1 install diskette. When you get to the : prompt type in
link<ENTER>. When the system asks which driver you wish to load type alad
