Other than a jumper, what is the correct way to do this? I always
thought that a drive simply supported it or not, thus the need to
search out old Toshiba, Sony and Plextor drives.
So far I've tried all the drives in my inventory that booted my Indy
and Indigo2s, but no luck on the Crimson.
However - I was getting 'file not found' errors as well, and when
using an Irix 6.5 disc, which I've now learned is the expected
outcome. So hopefully that means it was at least reading the drive
correctly.
Vacation is over as of tomorrow morning! SGI time will be short :(
