Hi guys!, Just wanted to say that my SGI Indy is now running NetBSD, of course, version 6.1.5. Took a bit of figuring out to get it installed via the network and setup to autoboot, but I got it done in the end. Still find it quite amazing that I can run a new operative system on my old indigo colored MIPS machine. Once I had sysinst up and running it was easy, good old familiar sysinst. I had some issues when reading the INSTALL.txt, well they were good issues since I got to learn something about dhcpd, tcpdump, the SGI's Boot PROM and got NetBSD installed and running in return. Anyway, I attached the dmesg.boot if anyone is interested. Take care guys!, and thanks for all the ports.
