Installing UnixWare 7
8.4. Installing the UnixWare 7 Operating System
If you must install the UnixWare 7 operating system software, perform all of the steps in
this subsection (8.4.1 through 8.4.3).
Cautions
• This procedure should be used only to initially install the operating system.
Because this is a destructive procedure, make sure you have read and
understand the procedure before proceeding.
• During the procedure, be sure the Caps Lock key does not become locked in
the uppercase position while making entries. Use the Shift key if you want to
enter an uppercase password.
Note: Switch the monitor concentrator to the Intel Node position before beginning (see
2.5.2).
8.4.1. Installing the Operating System
This subsection applies to all systems (ES2045R, ES2085R, and DR/2).
To install the operating system:
1. With the power off, insert the boot diskette #1 (labeled “Installation Disk Vol: 1 of 2”)
into the primary (boot) diskette drive unit.
If you have more than one diskette drive, and you do not know which is the primary
drive, see your computer hardware manual.
2. Turn the power on.
After hardware information is displayed, you see a “starting UnixWare” message and
the SCO logo. It may take several minutes to load the system from the installation
diskette. You are asked to select a language for the installation.
3. Select a language and press Enter. You receive a prompt to insert the second
installation diskette.
4. When you receive the prompt, insert the boot diskette #2 (labeled “Installation Disk
Vol: 2 of 2”) into the diskette drive and press Enter.
After a brief delay, the Welcome window appears.
5. Press F10 to continue.
You are prompted to select the zone, locale, and keyboard type.
