Sometimes the system may detect a device that is not
actually present. You can use the disable
bootstring to disable the driver. The syntax of the
bootstring is:
disable=driver[,driver ... ]
For example, if you wanted to disable the dpt driver and boot from another device on the system, you would use the bootstring disable=dpt.
If you are having trouble installing SCO OpenServer due to errors with specific drivers, you can disable these drivers with the disable bootstring. Provided that these drivers are not required to install the system, use the following:
To disable machine architecture checking, type:
boot: defbootstr mcheck.disable
To prevent the retrieval of information about hardware on the PCI bus,
type:
boot: defbootstr pci.bios32
To prevent scanning the SCSI bus for additional hard drives, type:
boot: defbootstr scsi.noscan
To prevent scanning the ATAPI interface on the IDE bus for
additional hard drives, type:
boot: defbootstr wd.noscan
