I have heard from Microlite support and they said

( I have emailed them back ) but in the meantime ,,,

I am using sco 5.0.6, can someone tell me what
volume manager is for 5.0.6 ? I also don't understand why the floppy
won't work, because it is /dev/fd0, how can that not be
usual device names ?

my systems are setup like this:

/ /dev/root
/stand /dev/boot
/u /dev/u
/u1 /dev/u1
/u2 /dev/u2

I did not realize that you needed to follow some
"usual device names" for microlite to create recoverEDGE media

I have several computers and they basically all
use this same device name setup

Can anyone shed light on this ? So when I finally load
5.0.7 , I can correct this matter.
