[rescue] Sgi ??

[dave venable]

A) I can't afford 6.5 right now, ideas? :)
B) My cd sled is still on the way
C  I just got an idea from google, I have a HD sled, I'm going to slide it
in the cd bay and cable the cdrom to the sled and run external HDs. I could
just wait for all the parts but I just can't help myself.............

thanks,

d

I belive you have to copy the content of your cd's onto a nfs share and
run a bootp server but:
A) why do you want to run irix 5.3 on such an nice machine and
B) why don't you just install it from cdrom?
Most unix bootable cdroms will do.
