Indigo 2 install (another attempt)
==================================

I'm continuing  to try to make  my SGI Indigo  2 alive. It is  a latest
model (MIPS R10000 CPU, SolidImpact gfx)  donated by Logout. I had dead
HDD so I replaced  it with my spare 2 GB SCSI disk.  I wrote about that
some time ago.

The next step  was installation. I had to find  my original IRIX media.
At the end I decided to ordered  another set from the eBay (in order to
not  to  damage my  original  ones  as  my  CD-ROM drive  was  somewhat
strange).

When I  got and prepared  the media then  my poor old  external Toshiba
CD-ROM died. The external  box was OK but the drive  itself was not. It
was my only external  CD-ROM which was able to boot the  IRIX. SO I had
to find a replacement.

I found one here in the Czech republic. It was just a drive and visibly
much more used  than my old one. It  it has been to read  CD media (and
also to boot the IRIX)! It has been the model XM-5401B (the same as the
original drive) so it is double-speed read-only drive.

So, I started the  installation as always [1]. It gone  well but at the
end the system refuses to boot...

Thus I will have to investigate the issue next year.
