RE: Help with Indigo2?

We have tried the "...stand/fx.64" and it completed and labeled the drive.
The machine then went to reboot and reports that no recognizable file system
exists. We have since found a copy of IRIX 6.5 that we hope to get working.
I left my bud at the machine and went home for the weekend. Maybe he will
chime in and tell me what happened.
Thanks!

I probably should have prefaced this: make sure you have your installation
tools CD in your drive in order for this to work. Linux was in a usuable
state (in headless server mode) for the n32 processors, but not for the
n64s,
which is what the R10K is. Maybe things have changed, but there's never
been
that much interest. NetBSD probably has something, though.

I have some spare GIO FDDI boards for the I2s, if you need them, and
possibly
some sleds...
