OK wanted to update you all on what is going on with my Indigo suprise 4k.
After suggestions here I ordered some ram from ebay for a great price and I had to order a SCSI2SD as the SCSI to SSD board I had from AztecMonster (Japan) had scsi bus errors. I got the v6 SCSI2SD which is apparently much faster than the older v5 models, so we'll see how it goes.
Has anyone compiled iozone for Irix?

I installed the RAM and thanks to the amazing work of HalfManHalfTaco (
https://github.com/halfmanhalftaco/irixboot) the netboot has been flawless.
A firmware update from Drako solved the issue with my USB->Indigo Keyboard and Mouse adapter and my mouse started working perfectly.
The irixboot from HMHT's vagrant solution worked and while the SCSI2SD had an issue where it was mapping all 6 SCSI IDs (see photos) the real disk ID 1 - worked and I just had to wait for INST to timeout looking for the other 5 IDs (which don't exist).
I'm waiting for the installer to finish up and then I'll try my first Irix 6.5.22 boot from this thing.
