IRIX diskless workstation: an alternative way.

IRIX diskless workstation: an alternative way.
A few months ago I released version 1.0 of Reanimator with diskless workstation support. The documentation followed the official guide https://irix7.com/techpubs/007-0855-080.pdf, and the result doesn't work well as well as being complicated, cumbersome and prone to error.

As the result was not satisfactory, I decided to investigate if the process could be done in another way and finally I have achieved it, using a totally different procedure.

I have uploaded one image of an IRIX 6.5.30 running on an Octane2, I hope it can be useful for testing on other machines.
