Hi all, I've got Debian running smoothly on an Origin 200 :) I've also got it booting off a CD, by putting a dvh partition table, containing an xfs partition with a kernel on it. Unfortunately, I couldn't get dvhtool to put sash on it. (It complained the volume header was too small, which it wasn't) I had to use the sash off the hard disk. Anyway, in principle, I should be able write a shell script to create the above image, and add an isofs partition containing the debian mips install cd. Just, I bet it can't deal with sash / the prom properly - it's probably dependent on arcboot. Also, it would need different kernel packages. So, I guess an arcboot port would be the nicest solution? Perhaps a better approach is to get the kernel to prompt users to change disks, and stick in the vanilla debian CD? i.e. have a "mips64-bootstrap.img" CD image, which prompts for install-1 afterwards. Cheers, Andrew PS: I don't speak for SGI
