Default Installing SCO 5.0.7 on HP DL380 G5

Hi, I am trying to install SCO Openserver 5.0.7 onto a new HP DL380G5
sever.

I am using a USB floppy disk drive that has a disk containing HP's
latest EFS. for the Smartstart P400 SAS array.

At the boot: I use defbootstr link=hpsas hd=Sdsk Sdsk=hpsas(0,0,0,0)
Srom=wd(0,0,0)
as per the HP instructions, and it appears to be going OK. It asks for
and loads the drivers whilst still on the "boot" screen, it then
continues after loading the drivers until it reaches the "Press ENTER
to begin installation" message.

A few seconds after this, a message appears as follows
"usb_msto: please disconnect and re-attach the device to try again.
T.584-usb_msto0 0200 2 <drvr16>: Initialization failure. Please
reattach the device to retry."

Needless to say, reattaching it doesn't work.

I have done a lot of searching about and tried things like adding
Sflp=usb_msto(0,0,0) to the bootstrap, but that doesn't work.

I am puzzled as to why it first appears to load the drivers, then
doesn't.

Any ideas greatly received :-)

Thanks.
