Rebooting the Server and Installing the
Operating System
To reboot the server, follow these steps:
1. Insert the N1 disk into the system, and boot the server.
2. For SCO Release 5, at the BOOT: prompt, press Enter. When prompted,
select the installation media of choice.
3. For SCO Release 3, at the BOOT: prompt, enter “link.” Then, at the
What packages? prompt, enter “alad” for the AIC-7880 Adapter, or
“mdac” for the Mylex Adapter.
4. For SCO Release 3, insert the proper BTLD disk when prompted. The
correct BTLD is supplied from Mylex or Adaptec. The Adaptec alad
driver is also available on the SCO Advanced Hardware Supplement 3.4

that the BTLD was successfully loaded before going to the next step.
5. For SCO Release 3, insert the N2 (file system) disk when prompted.
6. For SCO Release 3, reinsert the N1 disk when prompted.

the yellow tag.
