Hello,
I tried to clone a boot drive ( on a bigger one ), using one of the scripts on nekochan.
The disk was initialized , labelled
Then formatted by the script, and cloned. The data is present if I mount it
The issue starts when I change the id and try to boot from it... this is what I get
esf read error, bad count
esf read error, bad count
no file system found for "unix".
unable to execute dksc(0,1,0)unix: media not loaded
autoboot failed
dksc(0,1,0)unix: media not loaded
From Prom, ls gives :
dksc(0,1,8)/:
sgilabel sash symmon
esf read error, bad count
no file system found for "/".
Any suggestion is accepted.

What is the script? The best online resource I can suggest is Ian
Mapleson's page on cloning, at
http://www.sgidepot.co.uk/disksfiles.html#CLONE (use the tar method if
the disk is EFS rather than XFS). I do this quite often without any
issue, mostly on Indys, though I use tar slightly differently (to
exclude /proc and mounts).
If you boot with the original working disk, with the clone connected,
what does fx(1M) show for the clone?
[start fx (you need to be root), select the controller, drive,and LUN 0,
then do label, show, all]
From Prom, ls
gives :
dksc(0,1,8)/:
sgilabel sash symmon
esf read error, bad count
no file
system found for "/".

New subject: R: Help cloning an SGI boot drive
I can only answer partially... I can change the id to allow to have both the hd connected
only in 10/12 hours, so no fx until then.
The script I used is betxen's , and the prom settings are correct ( the old hd boots
once reconnected )
SystemPartition=dksc(0,1,8)
OSLoadPartition=dksc(0,1,0)
OSLoader=sash
OSLoadFilename=/unix
