[ resending main from Mon, Oct 21, which never got through ]I believe that the XFS kernel is too big for a standard floppy, I've never gotten one to create properly at the end of the install, but I've used the mkbootdisk command to make one after formatting the floppy to hold a higher capacity.
After getting the patches to the SGI installer, the install went like a champ, with one exception: the installer would not accept any formatted floppies that I could find - I tried a dozen - to create a boot disk.
Nevertheless, after restarting with the CD for emergency recovery, I was able to find the kernel name and create a new stanza for grub. The system booted without a hitch; kde is running; even my sound card was handled.
Pretty good for a couple hours work.
