Hi, just a few facts... did EXACTLY what is written on the Github page... tried it on my MacPro, not working, VirtualBox says something about dynamic Bluestacks libraries (what Bluestacks?? there's nothing about Bluestacks on the Booterizer page!)... tried it on my Ubuntu box, not working, there is no VM in VirtualBox after install, so my conclusion is very good idea this Booterizer is, if it only worked.
 
just take the raspi version, way easier as you just have to connect both to an isolated switch. I always have the booterizer SD card ready to plug in when I want to install IRIX.
 
Raspi? Don't have one, i only have what i have, a MacPro and Ubuntu and either don't work. I would have to go and order the RasPI, wait for it to come etc. etc. etc.
 
Edit: With apologies, I no longer wish to have involvement with SGUG or SGI communities in general,
and have also chosen to remove all of my content. Many things have changed since I co-founded, named, and ultimately
then left SGUG. There are many good people around, to whom I apologize for frustrating by removing these things, and
also many petty people that over the years whittled down both the enjoyment as well as sense of obligation I used to
feel to anyone else regarding what was ultimately just a hobby. Unfortunately one of the latter now writes the rules
and so it is time for me to take my things and go.

This message will replace all of my previous forum posts because deleting threads that I started would have removed
other peoples' posts.

You don't even need a switch - it's enough to connect your SGI and the Raspberry with an ethernet cable. There are still some little things to tinker with, depending on your exact setup, but booterizer really streamlines the process. Don't give up :)
