[rescue] sunos 4.1.1 cdrom image ?

[Andrew Jones]

Just move /bin/sh out of the way, temporarily replace it with a 
ksh/pdksh symlink, and reverse when you're done.

Incidentally, no matter how hard it seems to set up a netinstall, it's 
worth it.  IRIX requires a dozen or so CDs to install properly.  All 
that disc shuffling will give you nightmares.
