My first project on the Indy.

Hello guys, I got my Indy up and running now. My very first project would be to work on the Linux boot loader. I just happily found that there are two disks on the machine, so I will smash the second one with my boot loader tests. Now, where can I find information about the boot process on the SGI? I want to know what does the PROM load from the disk (I bet it loads the first sectors and jumps to them, right?), and where the code is loaded. I happilly found that a program called Insight Library comes with the system and has a lot of information on using the PROM, which is what I am reading now to find out any debugging facilities in there. Some time ago, (maybe Larry or Ariel) mentioned that it would be possible to get me a copy of the boot loader for Irix. Cheers, Miguel.
