Upgrading SCO: no root disk controller found

I have a HP Netserver LH Pro running SCO openserver enterprise 5.0.4, which is has to be upgraded to 5.0.5.  When I place the upgrade CD in it boots up, then comes up with the message

...
%adaptor 0xF800-0xF8FF 15 - type=alad ha=0 bus=0 id=7 fts=sto
%adaptor 0xF4FF-0xF4FF 15 - type=alad ha=1 bus=0 id=7 fts=sto
%tape - - - type=S ha=0 id=2 lun=0 bus=0 ht=alad
%cdrom - - - type=S ha=0 id=5 lun=0 bus=0 ht=alad
Warning: hd: no root disk controller found
...

If you continue, it allows a new install but not an upgrade.  How can I make it see the current install to allow an upgrade?

Could it be that you might need to define a bootstring for proper initialization of your controllers??

Possibly.  I don't know that much about SCO; I can use it once it's set up, but have never had to install it before.

That seems obvious now.  I used the disks made from the Utility CD originally supplied - it worked fine.

Many Thanks.
