Hi You wont get the driver for the ATI card "out of the box" with the SGI kernel. (at least I don't think so) I suggest you install via a serial console, install the sources, and then create/compile a new kernel with the driver. I've done this type of thing with other PCI cards on my O2 with good success.
There is plenty of doco for configuring a new kernel and building it.
