Greetings,

I am experimenting with Irix 5.3 for a while now, and I learned a lot. And at a big computer fair in Holland (HCC days) I obtained the installation disks of Irix 6.5.7

Since I was experimenting so much with Irix 5.3, and trying all kind of stuff out, the disks are cluttered, and parts of the OS are...well, screwed. So I thought, a fresh new start.

I searched trough the SGI documentation, the booklet included with the OS CDs, but nowhere I could find a way how to proper repartition, and initialise the harddisks.

So, hereby I ask:
How do I repartition and initialise so I can do a fresh installation of Irix?

Found it.
From the installation menu to admin, then type in mkfs ,the catch is that you only fill in mkfs, not any options. Wich is on other *nixes another story.
