Hi All,

I landed an SGI INDY machine off eBay a while back, and I've been attempting to install IRIX 6.5 onto a "SCSI2SD" drive that I bought online.
It's a "SCSI2SD v5.0b storage adapter" with a SAMSUNG 32GB EVO SD card inserted.

I'm using an old SCSI CD-ROM drive to install the IRIX software, and seems to be working fine...as I can access FX on the inserted Overlays Disc#1 CD.

So I think I'm close to getting it going, but I'm just having an issue getting the install process to start, due to a hard drive error. The issue is with my SCSI2SD drive, not being properly detected.

It says "Unable to Open....no such device". This appears right when I try to run the software installation after partitioning the drive. 
See the Error message below:




I can detect both the CD-ROM and the SCSI2SD drive through the command monitor and I have them set with separate SCSI IDs as shown in the image below: You can see my Environment Variables printed to the screen as well.. (I hope I'm not missing anything there...?):  

SCSI2SD Drive - ID#1  
CD-ROM Drive - ID#4




I've been following this YouTube video that is pretty much running my exact setup.
Sn SGI INDY with a CD-ROM and installing IRIX 6.5 on a SCSI2SD drive.

I've programmed the SCSI2SD firmware with the same settings as was shown in the video....
My version of the config software is slightly different...an updated version I think.....but I kept the same settings he used regardless.

After setting the Drive, I am able to load FX off the SCSI CR-ROM and proceed to format the SCSI2SD drive, and it seems to respond the same as  was shown in the video.



Partition info below after running FX to partition:


I've attempted to re-partition the drive a couple of times.....and also tried changing around some of my Environment variables....
I hope this was not what did me in.  The "eAddress" may have been changed but not sure..?   I also was trying different "OSSystem" and "OSLoad" partition numbers...but I still can't seem to get around the initial "NO SUCH DEVICE" error. 


Now I also ran a simple "LS" command and it displayed the same error messages for the disk(1) partitions...
As shown at the bottom of the screen image below:   "NO SUCH DEVICE" for both disk(1) partition 8 and 7.



So I'm assuming that I'm either not Partitioning the SCSI2SD Drive correctly, or one of my Environment variables is wrong.... ?

Can anyone see what I might be doing wrong here?   :huh:
Apologies for my ignorance.... SGI Newbie here.  

Any help at all would be appreciated.

Cheers!
