Where do I get the two install diskettes and the HBA diskette?
Normally those diskettes were packaged with the Uw7/Ou8/OSR6 media kit that you got. But they are no longer shipped. When they are needed, lost or corrupted, you can recreate them from images that are on your OS's Install Disc #1. Those images are stored on the disc in
      /info/images/Boot_ima.1
      /info/images/Boot_ima.2
      /info/images/Hba_imag
To make a diskette from one of those images, there are three ways:
      A)  Use a Uw7/Ou8/OSR6 machine, cd to the /info/images directory and:
           
             format -E /dev/rfd0
             dd if=< image > of=/dev/rfd0 bs=512k

          I patiently run an exhaustive verify on my diskette
          formats, but that's just me.

      B)  Use the program rawrite2 which is available on the net.
          Run this in a DOS window somewhere distasteful:

             rawrite2 -f d:\info\images\Boot_ima.1 -d A:

      C)  Use the floppycp program which is available on the net, for DOS or Win.

      D)  These days, WinImage 6 is the best way to make diskette
          images.

    If you don't have the CD's then you can find the install diskettes
    on the SCO FTP site in one of the ptf's.
