LSI 53C1030 Solaris x86 driver
http://support.megaraid.com/support/dlverify1.cfm?DLFile=/support/dlcenter1/lsimptsl_50400.zip&InpDrvID=84LSI 53C1030 UltraSCSI 320MB/s Driver
====================================
1. Copy the LSI SCSI Driver onto a Working machine into /tmp.
2. cd /tmp/DU/sol_28/i86pc/Product
3. Uncompress lsimptsl.Z to get lsimptsl
4. lsimptsl is in zip format when it should be a cpio archive.
# unzip lsimptsl
# find ./LSImptsl -print | cpio -oc -O lsimptsl.cpio
# mv lsimptsl.cpio lsimptsl
# compress lsimptsl
# rm -r ./LSImptsl
5. Now to add Solaris 9 support :)
# cd /tmp/DU
# rm release.def
# cp -pr sol_28 sol_29
6. copy /tmp/DU to floppy.
7. copy /tmp/DU/sol_28/i86pc/Product/lsimptsl.Z to /tmp.
8. When prompted for LSI driver, you must perform the following actions
# cd /a/mnt
# cp /etc/mnttab /a/etc/mnttab
edit /a/etc/mnttab so that boot SCSI disk is identified as /
# ftp
get lsimptsl.Z as binary file!!
# uncompress lsimptsl.Z
# cpio -id < lsimptsl
Now to install the driver on the disk to enable boot!
# /usr/sbin/chroot /a /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d /mnt/. |
