    Hi,
    i have big problems to install irix 5.3
    I found a old Indigo2 Impact in my firm. The machine was not used for
    5 years. All people, which know passwords are not longer available. So, i
    try to install a clean system from the CD i found.
    hinv give me the following
    System: IP22
    Processor: 200 ;hz R4400, with FPU
    Primary I-cache size: 16 Kbytes
    Primary D-cache size: 16 Kbytes
    Secondary cache size: 2048 Kbytes
    Memory size: 320 MB
    Graphics: High Impact
    SCSI disk: scsi(0)disk(1)
    SCSI disk: Controller 0, ID 2, removable media
    SCSI CDROM: scsi(1)cdrom(1)
    Audio: Iris Audio Processor: version A2 revision 1.1.0

    I boot from the cd the sash shell and the fx program. In the fx, i chose
    [a]uto, and the PC check and format the disk. After this, I try to
    install the system. But it only displays a progress bar. It loads the
    installation tools, and after 100% loading, the system hang.
    On my CD is written "IRIX 5.3 For Indy" Format inst (filesystem)
    Sequence No.: 700 Notes: No installation tools, Contains user-Mountable
    filesystem. Maybe, I need a different CD?
    I have no handbook.

    I hope, someone can help me
    Thanks
