    Use the server installation CD. It is bootable and will allow you to select various options (server name, network settings, and several other things, including the OS), and then will ask for the OS CD. You feed the system the OS CD and the OS will be installed with the appropriate drivers.

    Alternatively, when the 2003 CD first starts, press F6 (to load additional SCSI/raid drivers), and when it asks for additional drivers, feed it the downloaded drivers on floppy disk.

    When i insert instalation CD:
    1) loading kernel
    2) no selectoins & software tell me " there is no bootable device, please specify a bootable device & then run sutep again"
     
    & there only one button - "Reboot"/
    thats all. i cant see my HDD`s.
