Need testers for update to Irixboot - Unxmaal - 10-16-2018
I updated Irixboot to pull installation media from the Irisware FTP site.
This means you don't have to manually find the install CDs, download them, and shove them into whatever directory structure Irixboot required.

It'd be nice to have some more test victims subjects before issuing a merge request.
Anyone feel like redeploying IRIX?

Well, I have a 18gigs spare hd and a couple of rams to test, so I can devote part of the weekend to make the test if you are not too much in a hurry.

Made a pretty major pull request, might take you some time to review it! lmao
On a more serious note I may be picking up a new (to me) drive for my O2 and I will use your fork if I do. Will be in the coming days if so.

Please comment on the Github page with any issues. I'll be working on additions to it over the weekend.

I plan to install .22 on a Challenge S this weekend, so I'll give it a try!
I used your original version to setup an Octane this week, and it was very nice. Much better than me setting all of that stuff up manually, or swapping CDs!

You will likely have to modify the Vagrantfile to point to all the .22 media on the ftp site. I don't have that cased out yet (and I'm not sure I will any time soon).
