Use this procedure to create a driver diskette from UNIX.
Repeat these steps for each driver file.
Format a blank 1.44 megabyte floppy diskette in UNIX.
Examples of Format Commands:
|
Operating System |
Format Command |
|
SCO Unix |
format /dev/rfd0135ds18 (3-1/2 inch high density) |
|
SVR4 |
format /dev/rdsk/f03ht (3-1/2 inch high density) |
|
Unix 3.2 |
format /dev/rdsk/f03ht (3-1/2 inch high density) |
|
AIX |
format /dev/fd0 (3-1/2 inch high density) |
Access a root (su) prompt on the UNIX system.
Use a UNIX dd command to copy the driver to the formatted floppy.
Generic Example:
dd if=driver file of=floppy drive device bs=60k
Note: Do not use the raw device with dd for floppy drive device (omit r from the device used in the format command in step 1).
Specific Example:
dd if=1019Z.bin of=/dev/fd0135ds18 bs=60k
The dd command should copy the driver successfully to the diskette.
