SCO UnixWare Installation
Rebuild the SCO UnixWare Kernel
To rebuild the UnixWare kernel with the new changes, follow these
steps:
1
Type the following at the # prompt and press Enter after each
line:
cd /etc/conf/bin
./idbuild -B
Status messages appear.
2
When the kernel has been built, type the following and press
Enter after each line (0 in -g0 is zero, not the letter O):
cd /etc/conf/cf.d
cp unix /stand/unix
cd /
shutdown -g0
3
Type y and press Enter when the computer asks if you really
want to shut down. System Is Down should appear on the
screen.
The SCO UnixWare kernel is now ready for host adapter operation.
Boot the New Kernel
To reboot the computer with the new kernel, follow these steps:
1
Follow the onscreen instructions (usually by pressing Enter) to
reboot your computer.
2
Check the bootup messages to verify that all your installed
SCSI devices are listed.
If some or all of your installed SCSI devices do not appear at
this time, your SCSI cables may be loose, or the SCSI device
setup may not be complete. If so, go back and correct any
problems before proceeding.
3
Wait for SCO UnixWare to complete bootup with the new
kernel.
Refer to Troubleshooting on page 7-11 if the computer crashes or
if panic (SCO UnixWare error) messages appear during
bootup.
The updated driver for SCO UnixWare should now be ready to use.
