You should always install the feature stream because SGI stated in the installation instructions:

"During your first upgrade to an intermediate release, you are asked to choose
either of two release streams, the maintenance stream or the feature stream. The
maintenance stream includes accumulated bug fixes and basic support for
new hardware, if any. The feature stream includes everything in the
maintenance stream, plus any new software features."

I created two new scripts to put into the "i" directory of the Reanimator server to do that:

0a. Filename "6.5.30-fs.txt"
from irix@rbpi:i/IRIX/6.5.30/disc1/dist
from irix@rbpi:i/IRIX/6.5.30/disc2/dist
from irix@rbpi:i/IRIX/6.5.30/disc2/dist/unbundled
from irix@rbpi:i/IRIX/6.5.30/disc3/dist
from irix@rbpi:i/IRIX/irix65x/f1/dist
from irix@rbpi:i/IRIX/irix65x/f2/dist
from irix@rbpi:i/IRIX/irix65x/devf/dist
from irix@rbpi:i/IRIX/irix65x/devl/dist
from irix@rbpi:i/IRIX/irix65x/nfs/dist
from irix@rbpi:i/IRIX/6.5.30/apps/dist
from irix@rbpi:i/IRIX/6.5.30/capps/dist

0b. Filename "6.5.30-inst_fs.txt"
return
keep *
install standard
keep java2_plugin.sw32.mozilla_freeware
keep inventor_dev.sw.base
keep inventor_dev.sw.lib
install eoe.sw.fonttools
install eoe.sw.uucp
install eoe.sw.xlv
install eoe.sw.spell
install ftn_eoe
install inventor_eoe.sw64
install ifl_eoe.sw64
install dmedia_eoe.sw64
install prereqs
keep incompleteoverlays
rem java_dev*

Then, you can start with the installation from scratch:

1. Start the partitioner from the command monitor run from maintenance menu with:
bootp():IRIX/6.5.30/disc1/stand/fx.ARCS -x
And partition your drive.

2. Start the installer from network:
- Enter System Maintenance menu, press 2 or click on "Install system software"
- Press 1 or click on "From remote directory"
- Enter "rbpi" as server
- Enter "IRIX/6.5.30/disc1/dist"

Eventually enter hostname and network address

Select option "13. admin" --> "11. mkfs". Create the filesystems and you're done!

Select option "15. load filename" --> irix@rbpi:i/6.5.30-fs.txt

Then select "2" for feature stream

Select option "11. done"

Select option "16. source filename" --> irix@rbpi:i/6.5.30-inst_fs.txt

Type "go"

Type "quit" and then "Requickstarting ELF files" starts.

Restart system!


The NFS somehow had to be installed manually via the Software Manager from network:
"irix@192.168.9.100:i/IRIX/irix65x/nfs/dist" for the main files and "irix@192.168.9.100:i/IRIX/6.5.30/disc1/dist" to fulfill the dependencies.
