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.

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,
