the code for the plan 9 kernel for the SGI Challenge-M
(and relatives), which would simplify doing an Indigo2 port,
isn't included in the distribution
because it relies on information obtained from SGI under
non-disclosure agreement. much of that data will now
be available more generally, since i think there is a Linux
port to several older SGI platforms, but unfortunately even if true that
in itself doesn't free embattled debt-laden telecommunications
manufacturer Lucent from the original agreement unless SGI agrees.
you could try finding someone in SGI who can agree to it.

I have an SGI indigo 2 that my friend Ilya has now. I want to put Plan 9 on it b/c I don't have Irix. Does any one have any help or tips for installing on this machine.
Thanks,

You could try, but you could not succeed. Another attempt with
SGI just ended in failure a week or two. SGI doesn't want the source
code to Plan 9's Challenge ports available. Forget it. He's dead, Jim.
