Yes. But before you do it, check if there is a file called
/unix.install - this is your new Irix kernel. Then reboot. As the very
last step in reboot process /unix.install is copied to /unix. If the
reboot did not succeed, it must, really, you could consider booting a
custom kernel - from prom (after hitting Escape while machine boots)
go to '5', the 'boot -f unix.install' that should get you your new
kernel.

BTW, what kind of machine is this? Any "interesting" peripherals?
