Well thanks for the info. Fortunately I managed to get hold of the
.img.gz file off the net. Unfortunately, I am not able to gunzip it.
# gunzip aic79xx-2.0.10-i386-rhel3.img.gz
gunzip: aic79xx-2.0.10-i386-rhel3.img.gz: not in gzip format
# file aic79xx-2.0.10-i386-rhel3.img.gz
aic79xx-2.0.10-i386-rhel3.img.gz: x86 boot sector, code offset 0x3c,
OEM-ID " mkdosfs", root entries 224, sectors 2880 (volumes <=32 MB) ,
sectors/FAT 9, serial number 0x40774d07, label: " ", FAT (12
bit)
#
use file cmd to see wat fformat is that file . if its an disk image
file then use
dd if=filename of=/dev/fd0 and then use it to load the drivers ... if
u use windows there are tools like rawrite to help u
I dd'ed it as it is to the floppy and tried to use it at install time,
but it failed to load. "Failed to load driver from /dev/fd0".
Regards,
NMK.
