SCSI peripheral bootstrings

SCSI device bootstrings allow you to install the SCO OpenServer system from a device connected to the system at a SCSI address other than the default. For example, you should use the Stp bootstring during installation if your tape drive is configured at a SCSI ID that is not currently allowed as a boot device by the installation kernel.

The syntax for SCSI bootstrings is:

periph=adapter(hanum,[bus,]id,lun)

where:

periph

is the SCSI peripheral driver name:

Sdsk

hard disk drive

Sflp

floppy disk drive

Srom

CD-ROM drive

Stp

tape drive

adapter

is the host adapter driver prefix

hanum

is the host adapter number: 07

bus

is the number of the bus on a dual or multichannel host adapter: 0 for the primary, 1 for the secondary, and so on. This field is optional. The default value is 0 which is suitable for single bus adapters.

id

is the peripheral's SCSI id: 07 on SCSI 1 bus, 015 on 16-bit-wide SCSI 2 bus

lun

is the peripheral's SCSI logical unit number (LUN): 07

For example, to define a SCSI tape device connected to the first Future Domain adapter at id 4, lun 0, use the following bootstring:

Stp=fdha(0,4,0)
