This looks vaguely familiar... *dig*
Using the latest snapshot from ftp.netbsd.org, unpacking michael's
sgiboot.tgz in /sys/arch/sgimips, and building "boot" and "sgivol" and
installing and booting it works for me... Can you try the bootloader at
www.feyrer.de/Misc/sgiboot and let us know if it does something different?

I've verified it works on my Indy.

Also, out of curiosity, what does the output of "sgivol sd0" look like for
you? (Or whatever your system disk is... I use sd1, don't want to nuke
Irix off sd0)
