Well I got my octane yesterday (my first sgi).  Nice box: R10k 195, 256M,
2x9G, SI, Fibre Channel XIO, PCI Cage.

It has Irix on it.  uname reports '6.5-ALPHA' and then some numbers as the
version string.  Is that normal?  Can anyone help me out with media or isos
to load a fresh Irix on it?

Seller packed a usb sgi keyboard that's useless with this box and also a sun
monitor adapter that converts a sun monitor to work on a pc... also useless.
No big deal for me though.

Thanks.
