You need to download and make the required SCO driver disks from this web address.

http://www5.compaq.com/support/files/server/us/download/9096.html

You have to boot the system with the SCO install CD and link in the required Compaq drivers at the Unix boot prompt. See the readme file on the last disk of the Compaq SCO EFS disks for installation instructions.

Re: Error installing Sco 5.0.5

Are you using the default boot string command to load the scsi drivers?
defbootstr link=cha hd=Sdsk Srom=(0,0,0)
