Howdy folks,

This isn't strictly a NetBSD sgimips question.

When trying to boot my SGI O2 R5000 (which has been running sgimips for
a while now), I ran across this in ARCS:

> boot
Cannot load scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(8)/boot.
Text start 0x2000, size 0xb7b0 doesn't fit in a FreeMemory area.
Unable to execute scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(8)/boot:  not enough space
Unable to load scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(8)/boot: not enough space

That doesn't look good (something in the sgivol gone bad, maybe?). Is
there a way to trouble-shoot this or repair it from ARCS?

If necessary, I can install fresh onto a spare hard drive and repair
from that (I'd like to rescue the configuration and home dir's).

Thanks for any assistance,

-T
