I have recently acquired a O2 with R5000 300Mhz processor and 128Mb of RAM. It was running Irix 6.5 but I've decided to do a clean install of Irix on it.
I did a sequential scan in fx to check for bad sectors on the hard drive after which I started reinstallation according to Ian's page. I could get the Installation tools CD (June 1998) to read but as soon as the progress bar reaches 100% the screen goes blank. Tried numerous times but it's exactly the same every time.
I had searched all over for a fix but could not find anything. Any ideas and help greatly appreciated. Perhaps it's something trivial which I don't know as I'm only starting to play with SGI. Thanks.
