SDMS PCI SYMHISL Driver Update

Building the SYMHISL Driver Update Diskette

To create a SYMHISL diskette for Solaris 7 or Solaris 8 installations, copy
the raw symitu.dd image file onto a 1.44 Mbytes diskette. This process is
dependent upon the operating system that you are using to create this diskette.
Refer to the instructions for UNIX System and DOS System Users.

For UNIX System Users

Follow these steps to create the SYMHISL Driver Update diskette: 

1. Insert a 3.5-inch diskette into the floppy drive. 

2. At the UNIX prompt, type: 

    #volcheck -v

    #dd if=/<path>/symitu.dd of=/vol/dev/aliases/floppy0 bs=36k

    #eject floppy

   The <path> is where the dd image is located. The SDMS Software
   Device Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM contains the symitu.dd image
   file in this directory:

   {UNIX CD-ROM path}/drivers/8xx-1010/unixes/solaris/solaris7

   or

   {UNIX CD-ROM path}/drivers/8xx-1010/unixes/solaris/solaris8
  
   This command will dd the image to the diskette to create a SYMHISL Driver
   Update diskette.

3. Label this diskette SYMHISL Driver Update.

For DOS System Users

Under this section, DOS system users have two choices:

1. Use a utility that will copy the raw dd image onto a 1.44 Mbytes diskette.
   The SDMS Software Device Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM contains the
   symitu.dd image file in this directory:

   {DOS CD-ROM path}:\DRIVERS\8XX-1010\UNIXES\SOLARIS\SOLARIS7

   or

   {DOS CD-ROM path}:\DRIVERS\8XX-1010\UNIXES\SOLARIS\SOLARIS8 
   
   RAWRITE3.COM, which is a public domain utility, is available on this
   CD-ROM in this directory:

   {DOS CD-ROM path}:\DRIVERS\8XX-1010\UNIXES\RAWRITE3.COM

   Instructions for using this utility are included in its accompanying
   RAWRITE3.DOC file. 
   
2. The other DOS alternative is to use the self-extracting image file
   that is located on the SDMS CD-ROM:

   {DOS CD-ROM path}:\DISKIMAG\SOLARIS7.EXE

   or

   {DOS CD-ROM path}:\DISKIMAG\SOLARIS8.EXE

   After the image has been copied to a 3.5-inch diskette, use this SYMHISL
   Driver Update diskette for Solaris 7 or Solaris 8 installations as
   instructed.
