I am installing linux on an indy for the first time. I was following the
instructions on http://www.linux.sgi.com/faq.html when I noticed the
instructions where not complete. It talks about "Fixing your bootloader". I
assume it is talking about NVRAM and the PROM Monitor, but I can not find
anything in the man pages. I found bootfile, bootmode and boottune, but no
bootloader. Any ideas what to do at this point?

Turn the box on from cold, bang escape repeatedly as it boots until you get
a screen with about 6 icons and a mouse pointer. Click on the command line
one and do
boot /vmlinux options-go-here
