Hello List and all that responded,
Thank you for humbling me to reread the documentation and not just post
without trying to solve this.
I reread the snapshot INSTALL.sgi and found that the CD37.iso is similar to
bsd.rd
"cd38.iso A miniroot filesystem image suitable to be used as a bootable
CD-ROM image; otherwise similar to the bsd.rd image above."
I try to boot straight from that on the command menu
boot -f dksc(0,4,8)boot
and boot fails. Please find the following script that shows the boot failed.
I also tried setenv OSLoader=boot and setenv OSLoadFilename=/bsd.rd or
bsd.rd with same output.
When I boot -f dksc(0,4,8)boot
OSLoaderFilename=/bsd
I get this output from a snippet of the rest of the script
warning: /dev/console does not exist
init: not found
panic: no init
Stopped at Debugger+0x4: jr ra
nop
Please let me know if I am not understanding the documentation or not
reading the correct documentation.
I will read about the ddb and find out how to use it.
Thank you,
rogern

can you please start reading our documentation?
to install you need to boot bsd.rd of course!
