MAME IRIX 6.5.22 installation boot problem - No Volume header - overlogic2011 - 02-02-2022
Hi,
I am trying to install IRIX 6.5.22 on MAME with help of sgi neocity homepage,and i am doing with the ISO links from the page also. Everything goes fine, ISOs installed and everything, but when i reboot it can't find sash or miniroot on boot. I can see the volume partitions on the pre-installed image provided by the page. But when i install it by myself, it won't boot. there are no volume partitions or header. No boot files too. Do i need to create and copy by hand volume headers? And how i do that? I presume it shoud be made by default by installer but i don't get it. Thanks for any help.

boot -f dksc(X,Y,8)sashARCS dksc(X,Y,7)stand/fx.ARCS --x
X is the SCSI controller and Y is the CD-ROM. Use "hinv" to find the numbers.
