I have been following the install routine here
http://www.sgidepot.co.uk/6.5inst.html
I have found it to be very helpful and clear but once I have completed the step below
The system will return to the System Maintenance menu. Select Install System Software (or press 2) and choose the appropriate icon for the attached CDROM. After reading in the installation tools, which will take between 20 second to 1 or 2 minutes depending on your CPU/CDROM speed, some IRIX copyright information will be shown.
The system seems to hang with no response from the mouse or keyboard ?
Is this some sort of known issue or maybe a potential problem with the hardware ?
I can post additional info if people would like I am new to SGi hardware and Irix
The system itself is an Octane2 with V8 Graphics and an external CD-ROM connected to the external SCSI port bus ID 1,3
Thanks
