I found that I couldn't boot our Itanium2 box from a jigdo-created ISO
burned on an XP box. I don't know why - EFI could never find a DOS
partition on the CD. I downloaded the mini-net-install CD ISO (see the
archive for this list to find out where to download it - only
about 70 MB), burned that on a Mac, and all was well. Of course, this
was on an HP rx2600, not an SGI, but I imagine that EFI is EFI.
