ATAPI (EIDE CD-ROM) installation procedure

ATAPI (EIDE CD-ROM) installation procedure

To install your system using an Extended IDE CD-ROM drive:

  1. Boot from the boot disk.

  2. Enter restart or press <Enter> at the boot prompt unless you need to alter the default configuration. In most cases, this is not necessary; see ``ATAPI (EIDE CD-ROM) limitations''.

  3. At the ``Media device'' window, choose ``IDE CD-ROM'' as the media device type.

  4. If the CD-ROM drive is attached to the Primary IDE controller in a system with one or two IDE controllers, select Primary under IDE Controller.

    If the CD-ROM drive is attached to the Secondary IDE controller in a system with two IDE controllers, select Secondary under IDE Controller.

  5. If the CD-ROM drive is configured as a Master device, select Master under Master or Slave.

    If the CD-ROM drive is configured as a Slave device, select Slave under Master or Slave.


    NOTE: A hard disk and a CD-ROM drive present on the same IDE controller are usually configured as Master and Slave devices respectively. If no hard disk drive is present on the same controller, the CD-ROM drive will usually have been configured as a Master device.

From this point, continue with the installation as described in the SCO OpenServer Handbook.
