Indigo 2 non-progress
=====================

I wished to make  an IRIX install on my SGI Indigo 2.  I already have a
2GB drive here  (the original one was  faulty). I got an  unused set of
IRIX media for the eBay (I have  6.5.22 from the SGI Supportfolio but I
wanted to start with something better than CD-R media).

So I connected  my SGI-branded Toshiba 2x CD-ROM (which  is known to be
able to boot IRIX) and ... it immediately died.

The only SGI-compatible CD-ROM is the  partially faulty CD in my O2 and
at the moment I do not wish to manipulate with it.

Thus I have  to manage another way  to install the OS.  Probably one of
the remote install procedures. Unfortunately,  the easiest way - from a
shared directory on another IRIX system - is not possible as none of my
IRIX systems has enough free space and  I have to sort the data on them
first.

To be continued...
