Hey, everyone,

I've been working on my Fuel recently - replacing a defective CPU and swapping over to an ATX PSU with the adapter. I'm having some issues with the internal SCSI adapter, however. I think it may be the cable and not the controller that has the issue, but I haven't been able to find a suitable replacement cable yet. I do have a compatible PCI SCSI controller and cable, though, so that's what I'm using for the moment.

The issue I'm running into with installing IRIX on the drive is that I need to set a proper root PROM variable. For this controller, I apparently need a valid full hardware graph path for the disk, as the system claims that it can only accept the standard dksX... format for the built-in controller. I've tried a couple of different things. I've tried referencing the disk itself: "/hw/dev/disk/disk65" in this case, if I'm not mistaken. I've also tried referencing the SCSI controller itself. In both cases, it doesn't seem to work.

Has anyone needed to do something similar on another system? If so, would you have any advice on what the full path to a disk should generally look like?

Thanks!
