If you are ever playing with an SGI machine and need help I would recommend that you stop by irix.cc, ever since nekochan went offline its been the forum of choice.

Normally when you need to mount an SGI ISO/Disk Image

-Get the offset info with fdisk:

fdisk - l ./disk.img

-Insert that into your mount command like below:

mount -t efs -o loop,offset=$((64*512)) ./disk.img /some/mount/point

As far as installing I would highly suggest anyone with a box try to find the DINA VM for network installs.
