how to  install AmigaUNIX with a GVP-hostadapter
================================================

1) guzip the "inst.gvp.dd.gz" and "boot.gvp.dd.gz" files and write
   the uncompressed files to 880KB floppy disks in a raw format using
   flat-handler or similar (from aminet) or under any UNIX with the
   "dd" command. Label them as
    "Install Disk 1, GVP-AMIX"
   and
    "Boot-Disk GVP-AMIX"
2) boot with the "Install Disk 1, GVP-AMIX" floppy inserted
3) proceed with the "Root" floppy as stated in the Amix manual
4) when the system ask you on which SCSI-ID you want to install you MUST
   choose "0". Make sure you have the drive you want UNIX on jumpered to
   this ID!!!
5) complete the installation until you get the "please reboot..." message
6) boot with the "Boot-Disk GVP-AMIX" floppy inserted
7) apply the patch from AMIX 2.1 to 2.1c patch-disk as per instructions
   ("sh /dev/dsk/fd0")...
8) shutdown the system
9) Please add the "Dummy-Handler" to the RDB of the harddrive on SCSI-ID 0.
   Use HDToolBox for this. Do NOT touch this harddrive with the partitioning
   tools from GVP as they would wipe the UNIX stuff off the drive!!!
10) boot with the "Boot-Disk GVP-AMIX" floppy inserted and log in as "root"
11) apply "sh install.gvp" and follow the instructions

The whole thing is a little tricky, but the problem is, that the kernel on
the tape has no GVP support and this kernel ist installed per default. The
limitation to SCSI-ID 0 is because the installation script patches the
SCSI-ID into the original kernel at certain absolute offsets which are
different on the GVP kernel. Easing/fixing this would require a completely
new tape which would be a lot of work and violation of the C= (and in
succession AT&T, Sun, USL, ...) licenses.
