I don't have a clue what you're talking about :-) well I do but not all of it.
I can find the documentation etc and read it through, however I still have a problem with how and where to start with al this. My setup at this moment is as follows; Origin200 server with dual R10K or R12K (not sure which one) which I got from my IT dept. as they weren't using it and was a write off when we were doing the distribution for SGI. (lucky me !!! even got an Origin vault with it, but guess I won't use that) Anyway, it lacked a cd-rom and harddisk, I got both, a correct Toshiba CD-ROM and a 4.3 GB SCA harddisk in the bottom (system disk) slot. The hard disk is to my best knowledge empty ! I hooked the server (which does not have a display connector) to an Etherminal C thin client through a serial connection and its ANSI emulator (some details here http://www.thinner.de/produkt.php3?produkt_id=19) So know I can see the boot sequence and the prompt below the 5 options looking like this: +++++++++++++++ 1) Start System 2) Install System Software 3) Run Diagnostics 4) Recover System 5) Enter Command Monitor Option? +++++++++++++++ So where do I go from here ? Would appreciate any help / directions etc Yvar ----- Original Message ----- From: Florian Lohoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2002 16:07:17 +0200 To: Yvar Hoogland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Debian woody support for Origin 200 > On Tue, Jun 04, 2002 at 08:47:47AM -0500, Yvar Hoogland wrote: > > does the woody version include support for the Origin 200 ? it uses 2 x > > MIPS R10k or 20k processors and I don't seem to find any confirmation on > > support for these architectures except that O2's with the same processors > > are NOT supported > > The O200 is basically supported with a 64Bit Kernel - Its still a bit > experimental.
