Hi, as I read on sgi.html that the SGI port will run on e.g R4000 processors and up. I have an old Indy, not listed under the supported devices, but I wanted to try to boot the bsd.rd via network. I got a netbsd installation image booted via network. NetBSD provides an image in ecoff format. On their installation manual, they say it can be created from an elf format with objcopy, e.g. objcopy -O ecoff-littlemips bsd.rd bsd.rd.ecoff
First, objcopy does not provide the target ecoff-littlemips. It took me a while to get objcopy reconfigured on sparc64 and on i386. On sparc64 objcopy says it is unable to change endianness, therefore I tried on i386 too, but there objcopy says "unable to determine file format". Do I can create a OpenBSD bsd.rd image in ecoff format where the Indy at least will try to load and boot from that file? Or do I need to do that on a SGI machine? I doubt that the Indy will boot, but I am just curious. kind regards Sebastian
