Only able to boot to sash after a fresh IRIX installation

RE: Only able to boot to sash after a fresh IRIX installation
Good news, I do see X11 and 4d within /usr/bin, so I know I can make this system boot a desktop environment on startup. I attempted to modify /etc/inittab, where I changed the line is:2:initdefault: to is:3:initdefault: to see if setting it to run level 3 would spawn the desktop. I believe I'm close to getting this working. I'll make sure to document if I get it working and keep trying! I'm so close Biggrin

Edit: I see that 3 is not actually a valid run level for IRIX according to the documentation. Just mentioning that for anyone who may come across this in the future (for the newbs like me).
