Yes, the OS must be installed somewhere. There is nothing corresponding to a "LiveCD".

Quote:If it is really necessary, is it possible to use the "inst" command to install IRIX on a remote HD?

In a way, yes, although the commands actually invoked are "share_inst" and "client_inst". The manual describes the whole process. Note this is really a procedure for experienced Unix sysadmins. It was never made to be "friendly" and requires a working IRIX machine to be used as the server for diskless clients. Some users here have experimented with using other *nix operating systems as servers, which requires modifications to SGI's procedures. In either case, a working IRIX computer is required to perform the installation of the share, client, and swap trees.
