Subject: [9fans] bootstrapping onto sgi indigo
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 12:39:07 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <slrn8mm4tr.3bvp.ivanr@omen.melbourne.sgi.com> (raw)

I have an SGI Indigo R4000 sitting here and I think it'd be fun to get
Plan9 installed onto it.  So I've gone through the FAQ and the plan9
pages at bell labs, and I've read many times how it will work on MIPS
and it might even work on this Indigo.

But I can't see any way to just download the source and I can't find
any documentation on how to get it up an running on anything other than
intel.  I downloaded the 50meg plan9.9gz file but can't find a way to
extract the files inside it.  (I thought I saw a script to do the
extraction posted to this newsgroup a while ago, but either I imagined
it, or my newsserver has dumped it.)

Please don't tell me I have to install it onto an intel box first...

Ivan
