Seconded. Sometimes it helps this old hardware to be
"kreidlered". I.e.
disassemble the whole machine, reaseat all PCBs and connectors and try
again. (Sometimes connectors get a litle bit of corrosion etc. that is
cleand out by un- and repluging the connector.)
I suggest trying to start the system single user so
you can
poke at the console miniport,
My knowledge on those old SGI stiff is limited. At
least 6.5 had
diagnostics that you can run to fsck the hardware...
