Help!! SGI INDY - Installing IRIX 6.5 on a SCSI2SD drive via CD-ROM

RE: Help!! SGI INDY - Installing IRIX 6.5 on a SCSI2SD drive via CD-ROM
Hi,

First of all, did you set the SystemPartition and OSLoadPartition variables by hand? There's no PCI bus in an Indy so trying to boot off a pci() path isn't going to work Wink

The default NVRAM settings should work fine for an Indy, e.g. do a 'resetenv' from the PROM monitor and try again.

Others here know far more about the SD adapters and their revisions, but I seem to recall that the SCSI2SD likes to be the *only* device on the SCSI bus. If that is true you may have other problems waiting. Since an Indy only has one SCSI bus, you'd have to do a network install or clone an existing disk if you cannot use the CDROM.
