Modifications to /var/sysgen/master.d/wd93 (courtesy of dealer tech

successfully ran mke2fs on it and I'm trying to figure out what to do

I don't know about Mike's installer, but I'm working now on getting initrd
and a ramdisk together that'll let you do the install from Linux. Give me
a week.

Barring that, what would be the next step in installing Alex'
root-be-0.02 from IRIX?

The current method that _will_ work is putting the kernel on your EFS
drive, and mounting up your root filesystem with tftp and nfs.  That
assumes that you don't have problems getting another machine on the
network.

I have no idea if root-be-0.002 actually works, either.  I should probably
try that. root=be-0.00 will, though.

Oh, and as soon as we have a functional ssh server, I can consider giving
accounts on my machine for development purposes.
