Thanks for the assistance.
I got back on my OpenBSD 3.7 workstation and used cdrecord to burn snapshot
cd37.iso for sgi.
openbsd37#cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=/dev/rcd1c /tmp/cd37.iso
Went to the SGI O2 command monitor and input
>boot -f dksc(0,4,8)
Cannot load dksc(0,4,8)
Illegal f_magic number 0xbe5, expected MIPSELMAGIC OR MIPSEBMAGIC.
Unable to execute dksc(0,4,8): execute format error
Unable to load dksc(0,4,8): execute format error
>
is the message I get. Googled and found some info on this to upgrade the
prom or try to go into Sash which I was unable to do on this 02 as command
monitor does not recognize Sash or sash as command.
I will continue to get O2 bootable from CD.
Best regards,
rogern
Yes, that is true. But after 3.7 I figured out how to make the
architecture
CD boot, and wrote ISO code. And he's trying a snapshot, as you can read.
