I am trying to install OpenServer 5.0.4 on a PowerEdge 2300. The system is configured with three 9GB SCSI drives in a RAID 5 configuration on a Perc RAID controller, a SCSI CD Rom on a Adaptec 7860 controller card with 1GB RAM and two PII 350 processors. We have downloaded the controller drivers for the Perc and 78xx from the Dell website and put them on floppies using Rawrite. The boot string seems to be working but the install blows up after selecting the SCSI CD Rom as the media device.
If possible, please start by telling me what the proper boot string should be. I'll be happy to provide all the details of the install up to the failure if helpful.
