I met the error "Incorrect unix system 'base system package' floppy disk 1. This disk is not appropriate for machines exclusively equipped with SCSI peripherals." I use 86box, socket 7 single voltage, asus p/i-P54TP4XE with an ide harddisk and amd pcnetfast iii network adapter, no cdrom driver. Does anyone know why?
Well, I read that error as mostly meaning "I can't find the hard drive". That motherboard setting could be emulating a more advanced IDE controller that this software may not recognize. Try a different setting.
At least I would expect software from 1991 to support IDE, but we don't have a hardware compatibility list.
For anyone wondering on how to transfer files to SVR4, you can use a Dell UNIX installation, but it requires that you have set up an FTP server on your network, transfer the files to Dell UNIX, and then mount the SVR4 hard disk and copy the files over.
@18603833732 Not really, if you use VirtualBox, with a 500 MB hard drive and 64 MB of RAM, it installs just fine. You just have to follow the on-screen instructions.
