I have a cdrom connected to my Indy which has been configured to 512.  I 
think this hw is good, but will double check when I find an IRIX CD. 
When I boot, it complains "invalid partition".

I wrote the ISO you posted on an i386 box with cdrecord.  I suspect my 
problem I didn't use set the blocksize to 512; exactly how did you burn 
this CD?
