I just tried your debian-sarge-chroot[1] and vmlinux-2.6.9rc2-ip32[2], this way: bootp(): root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.2.34:/dati/nfsroot/sgi ip=192.168.2.52:192.168.2.34:192.168.2.34:255.255.255.0:sgi rw and the machine booted correctly. :-) [1]http://www.csv.ica.uni-stuttgart.de/homes/ths/linux-mips/debian-chroots/mips-sarge-2004-07-31.tar.gz [2]http://www.csv.ica.uni-stuttgart.de/homes/ths/linux-mips/kernel/vmlinux-2.6.9rc2-ip32 I had many problems using ip=dhcp since it seems to be broken and the DHCP server never got a DHCP request, so the machine used 62.0.0.0 as local IP and 255.255.255.255 as boot server! I created /etc/apt/sources.list, apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade then 'apt-get install ssh arcboot screen less' fdisk created an SGI/IRIX partition table, I added a new partition and run 'mkfs -t ext2 -j /dev/sda1', copied the kernel in /boot, installed arcboot, selected /dev/sda for booting, changed /etc/arcboot.conf as: label=linux image=/boot/vmlinux-2.6.9rc2-ip32 append="root=/dev/sda1" label=nfs image=/boot/vmlinux-2.6.9rc2-ip32 append="root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.2.34:/dati/nfsroot/sgi ip=192.168.2.52:192.168.2.34:192.168.2.34:255.255.255.0:sgi rw" then ran 'arcboot /dev/sga', created /etc/fstab and /etc/network/interfaces, then mounted the disk and copied all from nfs: sgi:/# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt sgi:/# tar clf - / | (cd /mnt; tar xf -) sgi:/# rm /mnt/etc/mtab; umount /mnt sync && reboot then, at the PROM boot setenv OSLoader arcboot setenv SystemPartition scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(8) setenv OSLoadPartition scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1) setenv OSLoadFilename linux boot and it did booted and mounted the local root filesystem. Great. So, next question: is X working on this machine? Bye, Giuseppe
