I have an SGI O2 which I bought off of ebay a couple months ago (it came with no OS). I recently got Irix off of there too, but I'm having some install trouble. When the system boots I click the "Stop for maintenence" button, as I believe I'm supposed to. I then clicked the Install System Software button, then chose to install from the local CD-Rom. I have the Irix 6.3 disk in the drive, and it at first comes up with a box saying "Finding installation tools," or something like that. After that however, I get the error "Bad device format in $SystemPartition." I don't have much of an idea at all of what to do. I think I may need to format the hdd in the PROM thing, but I'm unaware of how I should do that. If anyone knows of an Irix forum, or what I should do, any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
Edit: Just ran "resetenv" and it's now copying the installation tools to disk. I'll keep you posted... If anyone was following this ;)
