Abstract
--------

This PTF fixes several problems that occur on Siemens computers
during the installation of UnixWare 2.01.  It also adds support
for the embedded en596 Network Interface.

Symptoms
--------

Installation of UnixWare 2.01 hangs when the Siemens on-board SCSI 
controller is used.  Also the embedded en596 Network Interface is
not supported.


SOLUTION SPECIFICS
------------------

General Description.
-------------------

This PTF contains fixes for the problems listed above.

New Features.
------------

Support for the embedded en596 network interface

Software Notes and Recommendations.
----------------------------------

This PTF is designed for use only with the UnixWare 2.01 installation media
(that is, UnixWare 2.01 on tape or CD, or in the staging area of a network
install server).  Do not attempt to use this PTF with UnixWare 2.0.

Testing of the modified software contained in this package has been
conducted only to the extent necessary to confirm that it resolves the
problem(s) stated above ("Symptom").  Such testing consists of
recreating the problem conditions and verifying that the problem no 
longer occurs.  No other testing of this software has been done.

Hardware Notes and Recommendations.
----------------------------------

This PTF is targeted for the i386, i486 and Pentium CPU's.

Installation Instructions.
-------------------------
                ***** Making the PTF Diskettes *****

Follow this procedure to write the images from this PTF onto diskettes.  You
will then use these diskettes to install UnixWare 2.01.

1)  Format two 3.5-inch diskettes.  To format the first diskette,
place a blank diskette into a diskette drive and enter

	/usr/sbin/format -i 1 device_name

where device_name is /dev/rdsk/f03ht if your 3.5-inch drive is A, or
/dev/rdsk/f13ht if your 3.5-inch drive is B.

To format the second diskette, place a blank diskette into a diskette drive
and enter

	/usr/sbin/format -i 2 device_name

where device_name is as above.  Note that the two "format" lines above are
identical except for the argument to the -i option.

Put a paper label on each diskette, and write "ptf 2183 Boot Diskette" on the
first diskette, and "ptf 2183 Patch Diskette" on the second.

2)  Copy the appropriate Boot diskette image onto the first diskette.  To do
this, enter

	/usr/bin/dd if=image_file of=device_name bs=36b

where image_file is tf2183.boot.as (if you bought the Application Server) or
tf2183.boot.pe (if you bought the Personal Edition), and device_name is as
described above.

	Note:  If you bought the Personal Edition and you try using
	tf2183.boot.as, the installation will likely hang, and even if it does
	not hang you will still have only a two-user license.  The licensing
	data are not contained in tf2183.boot.as or in tf2183.boot.pe.  By the
	way, the reverse is also true -- if you bought the Application Server
	and you try using ptf2183.boot.pe, installation will likely hang.

3)  Uncompress the Patch disketee image onto the second diskette. To
    do this, enter
    
        uncompress /tmp/tf2183
	/usr/bin/dd if=/tmp/tf2183 of=device_name bs=36b

where device_name is as described above.


                ***** Installing the PTF Diskettes *****

Boot from the diskette labeled "ptf 2183 Boot Diskette".

During installation you will be prompted to insert the "ptf 2183 Patch
Diskette."  Follow the directions you see on the screen at that point.
	
After installation is complete, you will see a blue screen that says

	Final activation of the UnixWare 2 software requires the installation
	of selected software.  This software is contained on the Install
	diskette that came with your system.

At this point, you need to insert the original UnixWare 2.01 Install diskette
that came with your system.  Do not insert the "ptf 2183 Boot Diskette," for
it will not work.
