Has anyone ever succeeded in installing SCO Open Server 5 into VMware?
I've tried it, but the install routine gives the following error:
> Starting initial system load from: Floppy Disk
>
> Error initialising access to device /dev/install
> There may be a BIOS setup problem
> or other hardware setup problem on that device

Have a search through the history of this group, you'll notice a number of
similar queries.
There has been a successful install under 'bochsbs' (a Linux machine
emulator), but VMWare has certain issues with the way SCO accesses devices.
