********************
To install these drivers, follow these instructions:
1. Aquire the driver from the ftp address listed above.
- Download the btld image to a directory/file on your
machine. For example, /tmp/lsil.btld.img
- Verify the downloaded image using sum.
sum -r /tmp/lsil.btld.img
This should return:
50483 2880 /tmp/lsil.btld.img
- Format a floppy disk using the format command.
- Copy the downloaded image to the floppy:
dd if=/tmp/lsil.btld.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=18k
- Verify the copied floppy image using sum:
sum -r /dev/fd0
This should return:
50483 2880 /dev/fd0
2a. Fresh Installation on Primary Drive
- Insert a boot disk or Installation CD and boot the
system.
- At the boot prompt, type:
defbootstr link=lsil
- Press and continue with normal installation.
2b. Installation on a Secondary Drive
- Boot and Login normally.
- Mount the floppy image:
mount -r /dev/fd0 /mnt
- Use the BTLD Install script to install the driver:
/etc/btldinstall /mnt
Once the kernel has been relinked, reboot the host and
verify that is initializing the card. The boot time
banner should look something like:
%adapter 0xec00-0xecff 11 - type=lsil ha=0 slot=0 bus=0 id=7 fts=sto
When the adapter is installed and the boot-time banner is
properly displayed, you may use the appropriate mkdev
script to add a disk, tape, or cdrom to the SCSI and/or
Fibre Channel Bus.
