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.

Make sure you label and sync the disk and exit fx properly before you copy the install tools to the disk. You have to use the command monitor to start fx off the overlay 1 CD and manually insert the controller/drive numbers like this:

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.
