Aide-memoire: Installing IRIX 6.5 over the network [color=orange] [Part 1][/color] -- [color=blue]sgi machine as boot server[/color]:
This has been documented in great detail e.g. -->;
http://futuretech.mirror.vuurwerk.net/netboot.html
However, the actual operation is quite involved and therefore error-prone. Some [color=orange]physical feel/reference [/color]may be useful if one has not carried out such a network installation before. I attached below shots (by a digital camera of the operation).
/*
Note that an [color=orange]sgi machine[/color] was used as the[color=orange] boot server[/color] [Hence part 1], a[color=orange] Linux x-86 box [/color]would be just as good as a boot server but somewhat more subtle in details...

2. Setting up inetd.conf [ together with [color=orange]/etc/bootptab[/color] and [color=orange]/etc/ethers[/color] ] on my O[size=9]2[/size] ("[color=orange]old-two[/color]") for network installation of IRIX 6.5.
For detailed documentation on amending the [color=orange]/etc/bootptab[/color] and [color=orange]/etc/ethers[/color] ], see -->;

3. It is quite a nuisance if the CDROM of your O[size=9]2[/size] is always faulty (due to age or something) and not many sgi machine has a CDROM, I consider it is a good idea to use a [color=blue]Linux-x86 box [/color]([color=red]with efs compiled into the kernel [/color]: see IRIX 精华版 ->;
http://chinaunix.net/jh/12/119836.html
so that a common [color=orange]ide-CDROM [/color](instead of a [color=orange]512 block SCSI CDROM[/color]) can read the install media. After that, they can be transferred to the [color=orange]sgi boot-server [/color]by say [color=orange]gftp[/color] or some other similar program/utilities.
