Hello,
I want to install Plan9 on an SGI Indy and SGI Indigo system. But being
quite new to this, I did not manage to find out how to do this. I searched
on google and though this newsgroup/mailinglist but couldn't find any info
on how to do the installation.
If anyone could give me some help/hints or point me to a place with proper
information about this, that would be quite appreciated.
best regards,
Steffen M. Boelaars

The SGI bits are not distributed, so you're out of luck.

The second edition of Plan 9 ran on the Indy if not also the Indigo,
but that port has not been kept up. Unfortunately it's my understanding
that we don't have the rights to release the old code for free.
Sorry.

Well,
no-one said I would want it just for free.
Are there any options?

if there is a Linux port to the same machines, and that source has
been made available, it would make it easier to create a new Plan 9
implementation for the SGI that could be released with less fuss.
a reasonable chunk of the MIPS support required in l.s and
for trap handling is not actually SGI-specific,
but the device and graphics subsystems are definitely peculiar to SGI.

I reckon the only chance would be to find a
second hand 2nd edition CDROM.
