Hi I got an o2 like you with 128 megs of Ram,R5k , so I installed a debian with your way, thanks for the details. - boot the kernel with bootp - ok - mount the /dev/nfs for / with nfs - ok - then a shell on the sgi - nice :) - make a partiton with ext format on /dev/sda1 - ok - create the base fs - ok * i forgot to unmount the partition on the o2 * - reboot & configure the eprom - ok
booting .... ... then during the linux kernel booting, the sgi shutdown, no more power. Now I can't start the o2. The On/Off button don't do anything, i don't know what hapened !!?? I don't know what to do to see which part of the hardware crashed. aaaahhhrg Pierre Chignac.
