Installing a new SCSI tape device on SCO 5.0.6

[Herman_S]

Hello,

I'm trying to install a SCSI tape device on SCO 5.0.6 and get the error
below while compiling the kernel.

Does anybody know what this error below means and how to fix it.
I will appreciate your help.

Rg,

Herman

It means:

- you have a 2940-series host adapter that uses "alad"
- you have a 2940U2W-series host adapter that uses "blad"
- between the two host adapters you have a total of 0 SCSI hard disks
- both drivers have a clumsy kludge to deal with a diskless setup

If you have no hard disks, I suspect you don't really need both "alad"
and "blad" drivers. You probably turned them both on while casting
about trying to figure out which driver runs your host adapter.

Turn off the driver you don't need. Edit /etc/conf/sdevice.d/alad or
blad, change 'Y' to 'N'. Relink.
