Has anyone actually gotten this working? I just tried installing it onto an Octane (I don't care if the gfx works).

It gets to the part where it partitions the disk and creates the filesystems. Then it panics.

Code:

Oh well, would have been nice. Guess I'll dig the U80 out instead.

To answer my own question:

The installer blows up if the machine has more than 1GB ram.

Of course 4.6 doesn't support the on-board network adapter and the 3Com card I have KPs the boot process.

I'll be trying -current now (which has on-board ethernet support).

And it lives!

$ uname -a
OpenBSD slartibartfast.4amlunch.net 4.6 GENERIC-IP30#117 sgi

The -current snapshot install went flawlessly. Now to merge my install script changes into the one from -current and I can re-install onto mirrored boot-disks.

Actually, on Octane, you can use up to 1.5GB without hitting the bug.

The good thing is that I have narrowed it down and I'll fix it shortly.

Ah, hello, I didn't realize you were here.

I'm not in any hurry to get the second gig in since for what I'm using the machine for right now 1GB is fine, however, I've just experienced a new crash.

Went to check on the box this morning, couldn't get to it, so I hopped onto the console and saw the ddb> prompt.

Code:

Other than the NFS issue I've been having, this is the first time the box crapped out on me since I took the second gig of ram out of it.

I'm trying to install OpenBSD 4.7 (beta) on octane, it boots with the framebuffer and the keyboard works, but I have a panic, it can't "mount root", then I don't understand the error

edit: woops, I think I use the bad image, I'll try again

You need to boot bsd.rd.IP30 to start the installation procedure, not bsd.IP30 which is the regular kernel.

It'd be nice if in the future OpenBSD , or NetBSD , there'd be some kind of IRIX binary support. Maybe through a MIPS/IRIX equivalent of ‘WINE’ for *BSD?

Why not, they support hp-ux and solaris binaries... but I don't know if it will be a good feature because IRIX softwares are old now.

But it could be fun to use qemu and emulate a x86 to run a windows: maybe better than softwindows95

What?! Of course it'd be a good feature! There's some truly amazing software out there for IRIX , very recent and commercial software too (still released since the 2006 EOL all the way to ~2007-2008; like the Autodesk software, to name something... though not that I'd ever see that work under any *BSD).

mea culpa, it'b a good feature. I don't know if 3d acceleration is available with Xorg, but Vpro could be supported with Openbsd 4.7 (I can't test, I have a MGRAS)

XOrg 3D acceleration is really complicated and since VPro hardware commands are basically the same as GL it'd be nice if XGl hadn't have gotten abandoned so quickly. 2D might be even worse on VPro if you went the standard XAA route, since you'd have to reimplement everything in GL anyway. I wouldn't get your hopes up for anything.

I'm retrying with the correct file now bsd.rd.IP30, the installation is in progress, I set a default configuration about the harddrive, wait and see.

edit:

It works, but I don't know how to configure the prom to boot (I use bootp for the moment) and I'm searching how to configure Xorg

edit2: It's resolved for the boot, I've set the OSLoader to "boot"

edit3: There's no driver for xorg, so I try http://www.linuxtogo.org/~florian/files ... 00.tar.bz2

edit4: the system is easy to install and it's fast to boot. pkg_add works fine, but for the moment no X (I fail when I try to compile the Impact driver) and /usr/ports doesn't exist

edit5: I'm installing ports maybe it could help me for impact driver. and bsd boots in video

It's no use, yet. The kernel interfaces needed by this driver are not there yet in OpenBSD (the OpenBSD Impact driver was written in a rush to meet the release deadline, and still needs some love, for example vertical scrolling is not as fast as it could be). This will be fixed by the next release (time permitting).

So you'll need to stick to "textmode" console (or use a different operating system on the machine) for now.

What music is playing in the background? At first I thought this was Ministry, but it also sounds like Laibach to me...

In the video the first track was Soulfly-"Cangaceiro" and after it's Rammstein-"Asche. Zu Asche"

For the driver I'll try the last released if I can.

I'm never sure what posts like this really mean. What kind of adapter? An SGI 13W3 adapter? So, no SOG is required, and we simply know that the monitor is tolerant? Or are you using a modded SUN 13W3 adapter or similar, and are saying that the monitor is capable of SOG?

Without more info on what the wiring is internally on the adapter, it is hard to make anything out of this...
