I seem to have the same problem you had which is I have an unusable boot disk for SCO Open Server 5. Did you ever find a boot disk? Please let me know, I need one!
Thanks

Hi Guys,

If you have a working SCO system (OpenServer etc), you can make your own
Root and Boot disk, and you can put what
ever script in the Root disk for your
installation.
the command for making these FDs is:
mkdev fd
then follow the instructions on the screen.

YOU need to write you own script for the
installtion.
Good luck

regards
Greg Yu

you can get the HBA disk from SCO's site. is is the SLS oss463b supplement. it is actually the updated boot disk for 5.0.4. the link for that site is http://www.sco.com/support/ftplists/osr5list.html just scroll down till you find it.
not sure about the second part of your question. i suppose you could but i dont know if it will boot to NT still.
