SGI Indigo2 fail
================

I have tried to update my purple  SGI Indigo2. I have replaced the HDD,
installed the floppy drive and the CD  drive. I hoped that the CD drive
will made the installation process easier.

But I have found a bunch of  issues instead: the floppy drive is faulty
(it prevents the system to start at  all). The CD drive is a caddy type
one. But it turned that there is no caddy available...

So I connected my old good external  Toshiba SCSI CD reader and used it
for installation. Everything worked as  expected until reboot. Then the
system hangs  at boot  with a  "KERNEL FAILURE"  message. I  have tried
several  tricks but  with no  positive result.  It fails  before it  is
possible to go to the "single user" mode so very little can be done.

To be  honest I  have no  clue what  is wrong.  I suspect  the hardware
because the installation has to work.

So I have returned the Indigo2 to storage...
