Correct PROM settings for Personal IRIS IP6...
Hi all! Anyone know what the right PROM settings are for an IP6 Personal IRIS? After poweron (normal diags passed ok via serial console) the system tries to start but then just beeps and ends up at the PROM menu.

Atm the settings are as follows:

Code:
netaddr=192.168.100.55
dbaud=9600
rbaud=1200
bootfile=dksc(0,1,8)sash
path=dksc(0,1,8)
root=dks0d1s0
keybd=df
console=G
bootmode=m
gfx=alive


In Command Monitor, if I just enter "boot" then it goes into sash ok. At this point I notice via printenv that "path" is now:

Code:
Code:
path=dksc(0,1,8) dksc(0,1,0)

And if I now enter "unix" then it boots IRIX just fine (4.0.5). So manually it works ok, but the current settings are wrong somehow to enable automatic booting. Thoughts anyone?

Here's the system working btw (hinv is slightly out of date as it now has 12MB RAM, though I need to find another 4MB kit; email/PM if you have such a kit available):
