I assume you're bootstrapping it via serial console. Is there any
chance the kernel's console is defaulting to the framebuffer
instead? Usually you'd need to override that behavior with a kernel
command line option (console=ttyS0,9600n8 or similar).
From what I remember of the Origin 200 (I have one sitting in a closet
collecting dust) there is no framebuffer on them, usually. No graphics
card at all. That was the standard for those units.
I always just ran IRIX on mine, because back when I was running it
big-endian linux for these machines was still very much in its infancy.
