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 or DOS and Windows 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/unixes/solaris/solaris7

   or

   {UNIX CD-ROM path}/drivers/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 and Windows System Users

1. Use a utility that will copy the raw dd image onto a 1.44 Mbytes diskette.
   FDIMAGE.EXE is a public domain utility and is available on this SDMS CD-ROM.
   Instructions for using this utility are included in its accompanying 
   FDIMAGE.TXT file.

2. The SDMS Software Device Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM contains the
   SYMITU.DD image file in this directory:

   {CD-ROM Drive Letter}:\DRIVERS\UNIXES\SOLARIS\SOLARIS7

   or

   {CD-ROM Drive Letter}:\DRIVERS\UNIXES\SOLARIS\SOLARIS8 
   
3. FDIMAGE.EXE is located in this directory on the SDMS CD-ROM:

   {CD-ROM Drive Letter}:\DRIVERS\UNIXES\FDIMAGE.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.
