Anyway, I'm getting the impression that there's
no way to log in to
5.3 without a password (single mode is even pwded). So, anybody
know an exploit or have an IRIX 5.3 CD that they can sell,copy or
loan to me?
If you get access to the IRIX cd, or a bootable media, you may be able
to interrupt the
install process and mount the hard drive, if you can get the device
names for the hard drive
with root (/etc).
on solaris, you can use the format command to print out a list of the
existing media, and
then exit format without doing anything. I don't know about IRIX.
I have access to world.std.com, which is on a 16 way IRIX system, and
their media
seems to be mounted on /dev/dsk/dks7d5s7 for example. I suspect this is
related to
the driver name, and may be different for your smaller (I assume that
you didnt get
a 16 way server) system.
I could send a request to Barry Shein and see if he or anyone on staff
there could
help unless you have already gotten something from a list observer /
member here.
