SCO 5.0.7 on SATA CD-ROM

SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.7 Maintenance Pack 5 Release and Installation Notes

This affects the install process, which allows the selection of an ATAPI CD-ROM only on the primary or secondary controller. On some motherboards with SATA (serial ATA) ports, all of the SATA ports are on the enhanced controllers. To install from a SATA CD-ROM attached to such a system, the wd BTLD must be used. In addition, the CD-ROM must be plugged into one of the SATA ports on the first SATA controller. Furthermore, if the motherboard has a secondary controller, it must have no devices attached. This enables the SATA CD-ROM to appear as though it is attached to the secondary controller.
