Hi.
Ive been trying for a whole week to format and reinstall my indigo 2 impact machine. When I choose to stop bootup and tries to install software it freezes after displaying copying installation tools, etc, etc... It never loads the miniroot. Ive tried with both IRIX 5.3 and 6.4 with same results. I have SCSI drive and extern Cdrom at ID 2 and 5. Ive tried formatting and repartitioning the drive.
When I try recover or diagnostics it displays "loading diagnostics from distribution CD" and freezes. I have tried changing scsi id on both drive and cdrom.
Please help.
