Has anyone tried installing 7.0 that's on oss.sgi.com?  The problem I'm
running into is that after I netboot and mount simple-0.2b as the root
fs, and install the rpm-4.0 tarball, rpm doesn't work with the
libraries, or lack of, of that root fs.  It looks like I need an fs with
a working rpm-4.0, so that I can mount my second disk somewhere and
install the 7.0 packages.  Any suggestions?

Yes,
If you download rpm-3.0 (I'm not sure, try get newer version) you'll should
be able to work with rpm 4 packages.

Oss has a tarball with statically linked rpm 4 binaries.  Use that to
convert your rpm database and then install the rpm 4 rpm package for real.
