[rescue] sunos 4.1.1 cdrom image ?

[Derrik Walker v2.0]

Well, lets see, I would have followed SGI's docs, so the last one is probably
what did me in.  /bin/sh on Linux and Mac OS X is bash, and on solaris it's
the Posix shell, which is based on bourn shell, NOT ksh. UUhhgggg!  I'll keep
that in mind incase I have to install IRIX from the network again in the
future.

Thanks.

The installer has weird expectations:

- rsh has to be
enabled
- entire install tree has to be accessible via tftp
- /bin/sh *must*
be ksh

All but the last are documented in the official SGI docs.
