HELP!

I have tried for days to install SCO Unix V3.2.0f on a NEC ProSpeed 386
laptop.

I run the xboot program from NEC.
<ctrl><alt><del>
Load the N1 diskette and get the prompt
Boot
:
fd(60)unix root=fd(60) swap=ram(0) pipe=ram(1) swplo=0 nswap=16 ronly

loading .text
.
.
.
Insert N2 (...) ... <Return>
I load N2 diskette, hit return and get the hardware test screen down to
%parallel 0x378-0x37A   07   -   unit=0
H6

and it hangs.

I got it to go a little further but it always seems to hang after turning
on the diskette drive.  On a normal desktop, it works fine.

HELP....
