Re: Hardware upgrades for the Indy?

I was able to use the woody tftp boot image to partition and create an SGI volume header, although it was not at all straightforward. I used the instructions here: http://www.pvv.ntnu.no/~pladsen/Indy/HOWTO.html#h

Remember, when installing new disks. You're going to have to get an SGI
disklabel onto the disk partition. This will either require a version of
IRIX or a recent version of fdisk.
      

Use an fdisk as "recent" as woody. :-)
    

People said this. While I found the fdisk on woody could edit SGI
disklabels, I couldn't create them. It caused me a great deal of pain.
