swap partition (0) is not a valid swap area.
Trying to install IRIX to my Challenge S units, using a SCA to 50 Pin adapter to use a modern HDD. Unfortunately every drive I try, after repartitioning gets:

swap partition (0) is not a valid swap area.

From Option 2. My env 

I am not of the belief that this indicates an invalid HDD, but I've tried everything from running every "Exercise" routine, "auto" etc. in the FX partitioner. I do not have an SGI or other SCSI system I can format them with at this time, as the Tezro is apart for a PSU replacement. 

So if there's anything I can do from sash to fix this let me know:

>> printenv
AutoLoad=Yes
TimeZone=EST5EDT
console=d
diskless=0
dbaud=9600
volume=80
sgilogo=y
autopower=y
netaddr=192.0.2.1
eaddr=08:00:69:0a:34:09
ConsoleOut=serial(0)
ConsoleIn=serial(0)
cpufreq=150
SystemPartition=scsi(0)cdrom(3)rdisk(0)partition(8)
OSLoadPartition=scsi(0)cdrom(3)rdisk(0)partition(0)
OSLoadFilename=
OSLoader=sash

That's my current ENV. I'm using CD currently as I don't have an AUI transceiver handy to try that.

Technical problems should be sent my way.
