Help!! SGI INDY - Installing IRIX 6.5 on a SCSI2SD drive via CD-ROM
#22
RE: Help!! SGI INDY - Installing IRIX 6.5 on a SCSI2SD drive via CD-ROM
The internal SCSI bus is not the problem.
There are no "files" copied by the install button. There is only the miniroot, which is a single filesystem image. The installation procedure is supposed to reset the "bootfile" and "bootparams" variables to point to the kernel on the software distribution media. sash is not installed this way, it must be copied by a script that runs dvhtool(1M) from the inst(1M) package after booting from the miniroot.
You may have come agutser when you said "reboot" because it is not supposed to reset the machine (that would have cleared the variables that should still point to the kernel on CDROM). It should instead continue by showing the text window with IRIX kernel messages.
Incidentally CDROM is normally set at ID #4. I don't know if there is some bug lurking if you don't use the expected address for it.
