Reanimator 1.0 released - Linux-RISC - 05-15-2022
Hello everyone.
I have released Reanimator 1.0, the main new feature is diskless workstation support.
You can boot IRIX diskless from RBPi/VirtualBox, RBPi+external hard disk or from RBPi/VirtualBox+external NAS.
It's a complex and laborious process, even frustrating, but it promises lots of funny hours. I need your feedback to polish the process for every platform.
Please, browse https://github.com/Linux-RISC/Reanimator or http://irix.mersisl.com/ and give it a try.
The help for diskless workstation has been difficult to write, you can find this help on https://github.com/Linux-RISC/IRIX-diskless-workstation

I have released Reanimator 1.1, it includes several enhancements.
The most interesting new feature is support for Alpha systems, I have tested using an AlphaStation DS10:

A template is supplied on /etc/bootptab to customize the file served for net boot.

I have released Reanimator 1.2, it includes several enhancements:
- IRIX 6.3 available for download, tested by kikems (thanks!)
- automatic checking and creation of directories under /home/irix and /diskless
- update from 1.1: just update Reanimator scripts from the Internet
- updated install guide
IRIX 6.3 is a specific version for O2 R5k and O2 R10k.

Good job man. I'm glad to see alternatives popping up.

Hi Linux-RISC
First of all…. Fantastic work.
I’ve got a question.
Is there a way to update the installation without hooking up the pi to the internet?
I’ve got mine setup on a separate lan and instead of changing ip’s or setting up a router within my network to nat the traffic… can I sftp into the pi to update scripts and stuff.
Best,
Nichosen
