From the release notes:

      Install via a bootable CD-ROM
 
   The  NetBSD/sgimips  CD-ROM  is not ISO-formatted. Since SGI PROMs can
   not boot from an ISO/CD-9660 filesystem, the CD-ROM image is generated
   with   an   SGI   Volume  Header  for  the  bootstrap  loader  and  an
   ISO/CD-9660-formatted partition for the distribution.
       
   To  install  from a NetBSD/sgimips CD-ROM, enter the PROM command-line
   environment  and  execute  one  of the following commands, replacing X
   with the SCSI-ID of the CD-ROM:
   
   (for most Indigo2 (IP22) and Indy (IP24) machines)
   >> boot -f scsi(0)cdrom(X)rdisk(0)partition(8)ip2xboot 

   (for Indigo (IP20) and Indigo2/Indy machines with old PROMs)
   >> boot -f scsi(0)cdrom(X)rdisk(0)partition(8)aoutboot
   
   (for O2 (IP32) machines) 
   >> boot -f pci(0)scsi(0)cdrom(X)rdisk(0)partition(8)ip3xboot

1.6.x does not support the O2.
