DRIVER INSTALLATION
48
These driver diskettes are intended for use with new operating sys-
tem installations. Determine the correct kernel version and identify
which diskette images contain drivers for that kernel. If the driver
le ends in .img, create the appropriate driver diskette using “dd”
utility. The following steps are required to create the driver dis-
kettes:
1. The computer system BIOS must be set to boot-up from the
CD-ROM.
2. Insert the SATA controller driver software suite CD disc into the
CD-ROM drive.
3. The system will boot-up from CD-ROM drive.
4. To create the driver diskette, for example: making the Cen-
tOS 5 driver diskette.
4a. Execute xterm by clicking the XTerm icon on left-bottom
toolbar.
4b. Change the path to the specic driver image.
cd /cdrom/PACKAGES/Linux/DRIVER/CentOS_5
4c. Dump the driver image into oppy diskette using "dd" util
-ity, Command format: dd if=<image le> of=
<destination>
dd if=driver.img of=/dev/fd0
4d. When the operation is complete, the following messages are
shown.

The driver diskette is made now. Proceed to the following instruc-
tion for installation procedures.
Note:
