	Anyone got a FAQ or some sort of newbie Indigo2 guide? I have sooo many
stupid questions that I need answered to get rolling on this machine, like:

	1) What is the equivalent of probe-scsi? If its hinv, is it supposed 
to show 7 hard disks like: (the one in the command mode in the bios)

	SCSI Disk: scsi(1)disk(x)

	where x = 1 to 7. Or is my SCSI subsystem hosed.

	2) How bloody long does a diagnostic take?
	3) If I just boot up off an Irix 6.5.5 cd without a hard drive, how far
should I be able to get? I get an invalid swap partition or somesuch error (I
would check but its still in diagnostics)
	4) Does the hard drive need to be prepared in anyway, or just boot and
let it deal with it?

	etc etc :)

	Any help will be much appreciated,
