  @jonirob How do you do this in 86Box?

  @helloisthispizzahut These are my disks, here's how I did it.
  
  86Box v3.0
  
  Machine Type: i386DX/i486
  Machine: Award 486 Clone
  CPU Type: Intel i486SX
  CPU Speed: 25
  FPU: 487SX
  Memory: 16MB
  Video: Video 7 VGA 1024i (HT208)
  HD Controller: Internal
  FD Controller: Internal
  Hard Disk: 1023 Cylinder, 15 Head, 17 Sector, 127MB IDE Drive on Channel 0:0
  A Drive: 5.25" 1.2M
  B Drive: 3.5" 1.44M
  
  Be sure to go into the machine's BIOS and specify the floppy and hard disk sizes.
  
  Forget exactly which boot disk to go with. Try the ST-506 one first.

  @Revolution What if the ST-506 one does not work?

  @helloisthispizzahut These boot floppies provided are for various SCSI hard disk controllers.
  What you can do is use a machine in 86box that supports SCSI.

  Then how do I run setup?

  Laugh all you want, but this fother mucker is FIFTY-EIGHT DISKS. Thank god we no longer need to wait on grinding physical drives; but even so this is still a lot of disks to swap out. I've been at this for like 3 hours and I'm just now getting past the device drivers and into the fmli (development?) packages.
  
  Pack a lunch, and maybe dinner too.
  
  Apart from that? Revolution's config recommendation for 86Box seems solid, though I've set it up as a 486DX4/100 not an SX.

  It is possible to get some Intel Unix packages such as TCP/IP, debugger, compiler on stock AT&T SysV.

  I used UltralISO to load the disk01of02 boot file to make an ISO and put it on the virtual machine, only Booting Unxi System appears

  Working SCSI setup on 86Box...
  
  System:
  Any 386/486 I have tested works (enable dynarec)
  RAM:
  16MB works fine
  Sound card:
  None
  Input:
  P/S2 Mouse
  Network:
  No NIC (haven't got to that part yet though I'm sure its doable)
  Storage Controller:
  HD Controller: None
  SCSI Controller 1: Adaptec AHA-154xCF
  SCSI Settings:
  Address: 0x330
  IRQ: 11
  DMA: 5
  BIOS Address: DC00H
  FDC: None
  Hard Disk: 518mb (1054C 16H 63S)
  Floppy: 1.2mb times 2
  
  Then boot from Disk 1 labelled Adaptec SCSI
  
  Profit

  Continued from below...
  
  Also forgot to mention, SCSI host adapter must be SCSI ID 7 and LUN 0, first disk must be SCSI ID 0 and second disk (if you want) must be SCSI ID 1. After boot press CTRL+A to open the SCSI config and check the host transfer speed is at 5Mbps (anything else will NOT work). If a second fixed disk is present then Unix will automatically use it as a /home partition.

  @Missileboi Yes but there really is no need. At the description says, Intel Sys V was stock AT&T Unix, the only difference is the stuff you want so you might as well just run Intel Unix. Also I just found out, this build contains a script that seems to want to install Xenix in some sort of compatibility mode. Haven't actually tested it yet but yeah, if you run 'cat /etc/xinstall' you'll see the script.

  The ST506/esdi boot disk works with IDE drives. At least on my ISA based 386 system. I have not gotten a realtech 8019 isa nic to work yet but didn't really try. It looks like it will work with a WD8003 and 3com etherlink2 though. I only had a 44mb hardrive and ran out of space when doing full install. So it needs much more than that if you plan to install many packages.
  I will also add that it takes half a day on a 386SX 16....
