[BOOT] boot failure

[yp56]

Hello,
We have used Ghost to make an image of the SCO disk. We had a problem so we copy the image on the disk and now we have :

'Cannot open device: hd(40)/boot
Cannot open
Stage 1 boot failure: error loading hd(40)/boot'

We haven't got any rescue floppy disk

Is there a way to boot ?

thank you

Did you try it:
boot: defbootsrt link=adapter
Where "adapter" is you correct adapter disk.

thank you Pinho

I have no "bott :" prompt. The error is before this boot prompt
I don't think it is the adapter disk but a mbr corrupted or omething like this...

Do you have the install media?

I made a rescur boot and root floppy disk from another SCO but I don't know what to do with this...

you are missing the boot record or MBR....
if you have the boot and root disks....
-> boot with emergency disk set (root and boot disks)
- dd if=/etc/hdboot0 of=/dev/hd0a
- dd if=/etc/hdboot1 of=/dev/hd0a bs=1k seek=1

note you may need to change hd0a to the device name of your hard drive....
