[opcode]

I am having the worst time trying to get this thing to work with IRIX. I have been trying to install IRIX 5.3 and I keep getting write errors. I have SCSI2 turned off and have tried installing a ton of different ways. I created my images from my Linux system using dd: dd if=/dev/zero of=HD1.img iflag=fullblock bs=512K count=8500 && sync. I am using Samsung SD cards that are fast enough. I have the same problem no matter what SD card I have installed. I have tried on two different ChallengeS systems that were able to install just fine with real SCSI drives. Am I doing something wrong with the disk image creation? Is it not properly sized?

 My current setup is to have the 5.3 iso I made from my Linux system as CDROM on SCSI ID2. Scsi term is on.

My current bare bones config:
[SCSI]
# Settings that apply to all devices
Debug = 0 # Same effect as DIPSW2, enables verbose log messages
SelectionDelay = 255 # Millisecond delay after selection, 255 = automatic, 0 = no delay
PhyMode = 0 # 0: Best available 1: PIO 2: DMA_TIMER 3: GREENPAK_PIO 4: GREENPAK_DMA
#Dir = "/" # Optionally look for image files in subdirectory
#Dir2 = "/images" # Multiple directories can be specified Dir1...Dir9

# Settings that can be needed for compatibility with some hosts
Quirks = 0 # 0: Standard, 1: Apple, 2: OMTI, 4: Xebec, 8: VMS
EnableUnitAttention = 0 # Post UNIT_ATTENTION status on power-on or SD card hotplug
EnableSCSI2 = 0 # Enable faster speeds of SCSI2
EnableSelLatch = 0 # For Philips P2000C and other devices that release SEL signal before BSY
MapLunsToIDs = 0 # For Philips P2000C simulate multiple LUNs
MaxSyncSpeed = 0 # Set to 5 or 10 to enable synchronous SCSI mode, 0 to disable

# Settings that can be specified either per-device or for all devices.
#Vendor = "QUANTUM"
#Product = "FIREBALL1"
#Version = "1.0"
#Serial = "0123456789ABCDEF"
#Type = 0 # 0: Fixed, 1: Removable, 2: Optical, 3: Floppy, 4: Mag-optical, 5: Tape
#TypeModifier = 0 # Affects only INQUIRY response
#SectorsPerTrack = 63
#HeadsPerCylinder = 255
#RightAlignStrings = 0 # Right-align SCSI vendor / product strings, defaults on if Quirks = 1
#PrefetchBytes = 8192 # Maximum number of bytes to prefetch after a read request, 0 to disable

# Settings can be overridden for individual devices.
[SCSI1]

Vendor = "SEAGATE"
Product = "ST225N"
Version = "1.0"
Serial = "0123456789ABCDEF"
Type = 0
TypeModifier = 0
#SectorsPerTrack = 63
#HeadsPerCylinder = 255



[SCSI2]
Product = "CD-ROM Drive 2"
Type = 2
#Dir2 = "/"
