That's a mostly a question of your personal preference.

You don't need sash at all unless you want to boot a kernel from a XFS
filesystem. You can write the kernel intot the volumeheader using either
the Linux or IRIX version of dvhtool or boot it from NFS. If your
Indy has a very old PROM which doesn't accept ELF binaries you have to
convert it to ECOFF.
