ok, this morning i successfully booted my r4400 rev. 6.0 indy! thanks
for the help... but now i've got a problem installing it. i'm a little
low on disk space for the whole hardhat archive. i was thinking i could
dump the rpms to a cd and then hook me external scsi cdrom to the indy,
however the root fs for hardhat setup seems to be missing mount, plus i
don't know if the redhat installer can be "tricked" like that (i have NO
redhat experience).
