Install Xenix/Unix Failure on IBM Model 95's

I have a friend who cannot get SCO Xenix or Unix to install on an IBM
model 95.  The cause of the failure is that the IBM SCSI disk controller
is locked to recognize the single drive as ID=6.  SCO on the other hand
seems to require the ID of this 1st drive to be ID=0.

Does anyone have any experience resolving such a problem.  It seems SCO
has no work-a-round at this time.  Nor does IBM allow any change of the
SCSI drives ID number from "6".

E-mail any valid suggestions to the following;

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
