I don't know what version of SCO Xenix you have, since you didn't mention, but
I have 2.3.2, and the script for sure have a choice #4 under Install, which
reads SCSI.

Unless it's because I started out with 2.2.4, and got the GT upgrade, which is
designed to work with SCSI. If your version of the kernel doesn't have the SCSI
drivers, defining a device is the least of your problems.
