I get stuck just past the package selection and the message that a log will be created. It looks as if it is hanging trying to mount the linux partition. So, stupid question. The install instructions say to begin by running fx and setting up a root partition on the second disk from within IRIX. So, am I supposed to format ext2 from within the Hardhat setup program? Or, rather, at what point is the partition formatted suitably for the Hardhat install to begin unpacking files on it?
