RE: no valid volume header@SCSI2SD

As Raion said, you need to run fx to partition the (emulated) disk for IRIX and then make the EFS or XFS filesystem on it and install the operating system. That must be done from IRIX installation media -- either CD or over the network. "Volume header not valid" is a clear indication that the (emulated) disk doesn't have SGI-style partitioning yet.

Think of it this way: in Windows you've correctly configured the SCSI2SD to use the SD card as a blank SCSI disk at ID1. You can't expect to boot Windows or IRIX or any other operating system from a blank hard disk. You have to partition the (emulated, blank) disk and install software on it just like you would a real disk. You're halfway there, having configured the SCSI2SD correctly. Now install IRIX just like you would to a real disk.
