    Subject(Slightly offtopic) NEED HELP, bootloader on SCO system died and only have Linux to help rescue the system
    Date
    I am trying to rescue a currently dead SCO 5.0.4 Openserver system who's
    boot loader keeps dying at stage 1. I have tried to mount the SCO partition
    but the sysv filesystem doesn't recognize the parition. Am I using the
    right filesystem? If not do we have a filesystem driver for SCO
    filesystems? Can I use lilo to boot the SCO system somehow? I also have an
    SCO 5.0.2 installation boot floppy (no installation CDROM though), but I do
    not think that can be of any help. From my various pokes at the dead system
    it appears that the disk geometry has been screwed up in the master boot
    record. I think I may be able to repair it if only I could run dparam (from
    SCO) on it again, but first I need to get the system back up, maybe lilo can
    help?
