irixboot network install issues

[austinramsay]

Hello! Just got a bigger hard drive to do a full install of Irix 6.5 on my Indigo2 and was attempting to use the 'irixboot' setup from Github. I've read through the instructions and don't see anything that I could have missed. It is looking like the VM is responding to bootp requests from what I can see in Wireshark, but then after it replies nothing happens. I can see the Indigo2 sending multiple requests, and the VM sending multiple replies but it never moves past the bootp packets. Anyone have any tips on where to look for hints on what's happening?

I'm doing a 'bootp():/install/stand/fx.64' from the indigo2 which is shown as a valid path when the VM comes up and displays installation paths. Also tried just starting the install to see what would happen but it doesn't work either..

Thanks!

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.

I ended up using booterizer and it worked great after working out a couple issues! Didn't realize that was the successor to irixboot haha
