 It would appear that disklabel will fail to report the correct disk  
 size if IRIX is allready installed on the disk.
 While the kernel reported the disk as being 18GB disklabel only  
 reported it as 35MB. After using dd to blank the disk i have now  
 managed to use sysinst to install sgimips on this machine.
