Now I have:
Disk /dev/sda (SGI disk label): 9 heads, 117 sectors, 4016 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1053 * 512 bytes
----- partitions -----
Pt# Device Info Start End Sectors Id System
1: /dev/sda1 boot 101 3900 4001400 83 Linux native
2: /dev/sda2 swap 3901 4015 121095 82 Linux swap
9: /dev/sda3 0 100 106353 0 SGI volhdr
11: /dev/sda4 0 4015 4228848 6 SGI volume
----- Bootinfo -----
Bootfile: /unix
----- Directory Entries -----
0: sgilabel sector 2 size 512
1: sash sector 3 size 283648
2: ide sector 558 size 283648
When I make dvhtool -d /dev/sda --unix-to-vh /target/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.5
linux I have:
dvh_open: Bad volume header
Can't open Disk Volume Header
