Hello, all,

I picked up an SGI Octane and have an external SCSI CD-ROM and the IRIX 6.5 CDs. This is a machine that I purchased second-hand and I would like to re-install the OS.

I was trying to follow the guide, but on boot there is no "stop for maintenance" option... it just goes straight through the boot procedure and ends up on a login screen.

Is there any hope?

Thanks in advance!
