In addition, this directory (/images/boot) contains images of all floppy disks you might need. (See ``Creating SCO OpenServer floppy media'' for information on how to create floppy disks from any of these images.)
This directory contains the following files:
| install.img | Primary Boot Disk image, which you can use to replace a lost or damaged copy. |
| install.sum | The 'sum -r' of the primary Boot Disk image. |
| smallmem.img | An image of a small kernel Boot Disk, for installing on systems with small memory configurations (32MB). |
| notebook.sum | The 'sum -r' of the small memory Boot Disk image. |
| btld.img | An image of the first Boot-Time Loadable Drivers (BTLDs) disk, containing drivers for SCSI host adapters, some of which are not supported by the floppy Boot Disk. |
| btld.sum | The 'sum -r' of the first BTLD image. |
| btld2.img | An image of the second Boot-Time Loadable Drivers (BTLDs) disk, containing drivers for SCSI host adapters that are not supported by the floppy Boot Disk. There are also some additional BTLDs provided for your convenience. |
| btld2.sum | The 'sum -r' of the second BTLD image. |
NOTE: SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.7 supports bootable CD-ROM installs. If your hardware supports booting from CD-ROM, you do not need to use any floppy diskettes to install SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.7.

| * These drivers are no longer supported by SCO, however they are still provided with SCO OpenServer for your convenience. Contact your hardware vendor for support. |
NOTE: If you need to use a different drive to create the floppy disk, this procedure will not work. Instead, use the procedure described in ``Alternative method for creating floppy disks on UNIX systems''.
The ezcp command is a UNIX shell script that copies images to /dev/rfd0135ds18. This script is provided on the SCO OpenServer System CD-ROM, in the /images directory.
To create an SCO OpenServer floppy disk on a UNIX system using the ezcp command:
cd /mnt/images
If you are using a different mount point, substitute it for /mnt in the above example.
ezcp boot/[image_name]
where [image_name] is one of the following image files:
sum -r /dev/fd0
Compare the result to the checksum file on the SCO OpenServer CD-ROM (/images/boot/[image_name].sum) that corresponds to the image you copied. If the checksums are the same, the floppy disk is ready for use.
NOTE: Depending on the version of your operating system and the configuration of your hardware, you may use a device node other than /dev/fd0.
cd /mnt/images/boot
If you are using a different mount point, substitute it for /mnt in the above example.
dd if=[image_name] of=/dev/fd0 bs=18k
where [image_name] is one of the following image files:
sum -r /dev/fd0
Compare the result to the checksum file on the SCO OpenServer CD-ROM (/images/boot/[image_name].sum) that corresponds to the image you copied. If the checksums are the same, the floppy disk is ready for use.
NOTE: Depending on the version of your operating system and the configuration of your hardware, you may use a device node other than /dev/fd0.
NOTE: If you need to use a different drive to create the floppy disk, this procedure will not work. Instead, use the procedure described in ``Alternative method for creating floppy disks on Windows systems''.
The ezcp.bat file is a Windows/DOS batch file that uses floppycp to copy floppy images to drive A:. This batch file is provided on the SCO OpenServer System CD-ROM, in the \images directory.
To create an SCO OpenServer floppy disk on a Windows or DOS system using the ezcp command:
D:
cd \images
If your system's CD-ROM drive uses a different drive letter, substitute the correct letter in the above example.
ezcp boot\[image_name]
where [image_name] is one of the following image files:
D:\images\floppycp \f D:\images\boot\[image_name]
where [image_name] is one of the following image files:
If your system's CD-ROM drive uses a different drive letter, substitute the correct letter in the above example.
For help with the floppycp command, enter:
D:\images\floppycp \h
The floppy disk is now ready for use.
