Is ID 4 essential? I've read conflicting info re:
required device IDs
for booting. What is the expected behavior using a different ID?
No- OpenBoot Suns alias the "boot cdrom" command to a specific ID, but
SGIs don't. Don't use ID0- that's the HBA on SGIs, other than that
anything goes. Default systemdisk is ID1, though, respecting that makes
it easier. For a different ID you have to change your "boot" command,
that's the only difference.
