[rescue] External SCSI CDROM for SGI?

[Robert Darlington]

SGI has wonderful documentation.  There are detailed manuals on network
installs and diskless booting that are so good, that even I could build up a
system in a few hours!   The trick is finding that documentation, and also
realizing that it's for building these types of servers on an existing sgi
system.
