IRIX net install problem Indy - SuicideK - 04-23-2019
Hello,
I'm in the process of trying to perform a net install on my fixed Indy. I ran through the FX partitioner and setup the SCSI drive per SGI documentation. When loading the unix.IP22 in the 6.5.22 mini root i get an error mounting the root device errno 1011. Did i somehow miss a step ?
-Thanks, SK

Which Bootserver do you use, e.g. Booterizer, Irixify or DINA? I think there's something wrong with that.
In most cases it might also help to run a
unsetenv netaddr
in the Command Monitor before trying to netboot.
Please provide further details, we will find a solution

Hi, I’m using an Ubuntu VM with inetd to boot the Indy. Ran fx.ARCS and partitioned the disk then did a boot of unix.IP22 from the 6.5.22 miniroot. Going through the install here http://techpubs.spinlocksolutions.com/irix/remote-irix-6.5-installation-from-linux.html

Try to use installation tools of the base 6.5 miniroot, not the 6.5.22 ones. The error 1011 is mentioned here : https://comp.sys.sgi.admin.narkive.com/sKkKqJJ0/media-not-loaded.
Check if a resetenv in the PROM helps, followed by re-setting the netaddr and try booting again.
There also is the possibility of having done something wrong in fx or the disk is not healthy.
