Hard drive clone. A different case
#2
RE: Hard drive clone. A different case
You could boot IRIX installation (or from a new IRIX installation), mount the original root partition and clean root password by editing the line for root in /etc/passwd.

After this procedure, you can clone the hard disk using for example https://github.com/Linux-RISC/IRIX-disk-cloning (quick'n'dirty translation).

Edit: if you don't want to modify the original disk, the method you propose is correct and should work.
