New to Irix please help

[marathionman]

Hi this is my first post hear. I just picked up 2 Indigo 2 work stations with monitors for almost nothing. I picked them up because I like to learn new Operating systems and I want to start to learn Unix(of some kind) and this opportunity came up. Well I seam to be having trouble installing Irix 6.2. I have been flowing the instructions form this page

http://www.gbnet.net/~jrg/irix-install.html

but the system but when i first start the install i get an error saying that the "root and the swap are on the same partition." Well I really just want to wipe the whole hard drive and start over again. But I have no idea how to do that. If some one could point me to a good web sight or tell me i would appreciate it.

thanks
