After that I replaced the memory with some spare SIMMs

to the boot menu. I didn't install IRIX yet, I have only 16MB of RAM.
I wonder why the original memory didn't work. It's IBM brand, marked
"11E8360BD-70 VJRX 32MB, 8M X 36 P". SIMMs from HP/9000 E25 don't work,
too, but that's expected.
"Just Plain Broken"?
If you can put the SIMMs into a plain ordinary PC (not sure if you can),
then try running memtest86 on them and see what happens.
