SCO Openserver System Release 5.0.7 

          I have a Fujitsu Siemens PRIMERGY TX150-S5 Server that 
          has no standard legacy floppy drive attached to it. Fujitsu 
          Siemens now ship their PRIMERGY TX150-S5 with no legacy 
          floppy drive installed as default.  
                     
          I am using the Server with the boot controller to be the 
          onboard LSI 1068 SAS and SAS HD's. 
                    
          In order for me to install OpenServer 5.0.7 on this server,
          I need to load the latest BTLD "lsil" driver version 1.04.09 
          via a USB floppy drive. 
           
          

      The latest SCO OpenServer5 "lsil" BTLD is available 
          at LSI website 
                   
 http://www.lsi.com/files/support/ssp/fusionmpt/SCO/SCO_op5_mpt_lsil_10409.zip 
           
          or on the SCO Supplement 5 BTLD ISO Image (osr507)

          When installing SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 with an additional 
          BTLD "lsil", the ISL boot loader will need to load the 
          "lsil" driver at the initial load of the Install Kernel with
          the command:   
                     
               boot  
               : defbootstr link="lsil" 
                     
               Loading floppy image into memory... 
               Loading kernel fd(64)unix  .text 
               Loading kernel fd(64)unix  .data 
               Loading Kernel fd(64)unix  .bss 
                     
               Loading Kernel symbol table, this may take a few minutes 
            
               Please insert the fd(65)lsil volume and press <Return> 
               or 'q' to quit:  
                      
          I have my USB Floppy drive attached and then I inserted the 
          "lsil" BTLD floppy disk in it and then hit <Return>. 
           
          The ISL boot loader fails to read the USB floppy with this 
          error message: 
           
               "Sorry, that volume does not contain the lsil package" 
           
          In other words, the ISL boot loader can't see the USB 
          floppy drive, hence access to it fails. 
           
          I have also tried several "defbootstr" combinations in 
          order for the ISL boot loader to recognize the USB Floppy 
          drive, but without success and continued to get the same error 
          message as above. 
           
          These are the "defbootstr" combinations used with no 
          success: 
           
               defbootstr Sflp=usb_msto(0,0,0) link="lsil" 
               defbootstr Sflp=usb_msto(0,0,0) btld=fd(65) link="lsil" 
           
          How can I make the Boot loader see the USB floppy drive 
          and access it?

          Fujitsu Siemens PRIMERGY TX150-S5

          When you purchase the new PRIMERGY TX150-S5 servers, you 
          have the option to have a standard legacy Floppy Driver 
          1.44 MB installed, or have one without. 
            
          Fujitsu Siemens by default ship the PRIMERGY TX150-S5 
          without a legacy Floppy 1.44 MB Drive. Only a USB Floppy 
          is possible to connect to it. 
           
          Therefore, it is recommended to purchase the TX150-S5 with 
          an installed legacy Floppy Drive 1.44 MB. You will not have the
          problem described in this Technical Article  
                      
          But if you have purchased the TX150-S5 without a legacy 
          floppy drive installed, it has been found that if you connect
          a USB Floppy drive with no floppy disk in it "empty" and boot
          the server, the BIOS will not add the attached USB floppy into
          its potential attached boot devices, hence you will see no 
          reference to any USB attached floppy device in the POST BIOS
          message, like this one: 
           
                    Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.40 GHz 
                    2096128K Extended RAM Passed 
                    ATAPI CD-ROM: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H10W 
                    Mouse initialized 
           
          As you can see, there is no reference to any found USB Floppy 
          devices. When the OSr507 ISL bootloader requests access to a Floppy 
          drive via "fd(65)" from the BIOS, the BIOS reports that 
          there is no floppy drive attached and load of the BTLD via 
          floppy drive will fail. 
           
          But if you boot the server with a USB floppy drive attached 
          to it that has 1.44 MB floppy disk inserted in it, the BIOS 
          will detect the USB floppy drive as a potential boot device: 
           
                 Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.40 GHz 
                 2096128K Extended RAM Passed 
                 ATAPI CD-ROM: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H10W 
                 USB 1.1: NEC USB UF000x  <--- Our USB Floppy Device 
                 Mouse initialized 
            
          This is how the TX150-S5 BIOS works, even with the latest 
          BIOS upgrade. This has been reported to Fujitsu Siemens for          
          clarification.

          you only need to carry out this if you have no installed 
          legacy floppy 1.44 MB drive. 
           
          1- 
          Boot the server and enter the system BIOS setting by 
          hitting the "F2" Key. 

          In the "Main --> Boot Options --> Boot sequence -->" 
          screen, make sure your Boot Sequence is in the following 
          order: 
           
                       CD-ROM Drive 
                       Diskette 
                       Hard Drive 
                       Legacy LAN Card 
           
          Save the BIOS changes and exit. 
           
          2- 
          Plug-in the USB Floppy drive with the "lsil" BTLD floppy 
          disk in it and also place the OSR507 Installation CD in 
          the CD-ROM drive.
 
          Boot the server, at the point in the BIOS POST message 
          display, you should hear the USB floppy being accessed 
          with the BIOS and the LED will flash on for a short time. 
          At this moment, the USB Floppy Drive gets recognized by 
          the BIOS and displayed in the POST BIOS messages as listed 
          above in the "CAUSE" section. 
           
          3- 
          When the SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 install media gets read, type the 
          following boot string: 
           
                boot 
                : defbootstr Sflp=usb_msto(0,0,0) link="lsil" 
           
          The ISL boot loader will now successfully access the USB 
          floppy drive and load the BTLD "lsil" driver from the floppy
          diskette. 
           
          The remaining installation is straight forward.

          IMPORTANT - Ensure you are using the July 2005 cut of 
          OSR507 CD Media which has the appropriate USB additions. 
          The "Base Operating system Installation CD" from July 2005 
          should have the labeled "7OSR01A05073 July05" on it.

          (BTLD) from a USB floppy drive during ISL (Installation of
