the CDROM using "netconfig".
- Remove it, relink kernel and reboot.

remove and save the contents.

Before installing the drivers, install an additional processor on the
system (which already has SCO openserver 5.0.4d on it) by running CUSTOM
menu options. Select SMP MultiProcessor installation and add the additional
processor by entering the license number when prompted.
Repeat the steps for each additional processor on the system. Relink
kernel and reboot. Now follow the same steps mentioned above (for single
processor systems) to install the pnt driver.

to register its IRQs do the following:
- Run netconfig and remove the driver, link and
reboot.
- For a pci device check the func#, dev# and bus#
by "/etc/hw -vr pci"
- Now add the driver again by running netconfig.
- Ensure the above parameters match.
- For ISA devices add the card and run the system
config utility before installing the driver.

with the O/S.
