My site missed the beginning of this thread, sorry.
I received the SCO 2.3GT Upgrade on 5.25 diskettes, so I had them copied
for my 3.50 drives. No way N1 would boot.
It took hours to find, but there's a simple fix, which is to copy the
correct boot track onto the N1 diskette. This boot track resides in /etc.
The proper 'dd' syntax can be scarfed from the /etc/mkdev/fd file.
