This is my arc.cf:

Code:

# ARCLoad Configuration

# Default settings;
append  "ro";
append  "console=tty0";
append  "video=impactsr:1280x1024";

# Octane definition
ip30
{
  description           "SGI Octane R10000\r\n";

  # Default kernel: 2.6.17.14
  # OSLoadFilename="ip30(linux)"
  linux
  {
    description         "\tDefault boot\r\n";
    image system        "/vmlinux";
    append              "root=/dev/sda1";
  }
}


Please specify your troubles in more details.

I had problems too with arcload and although this is not the proposed strategy this worked for me:
I used recommended Values and places for everything but i set SystemPartition to the volume-header partition. Then arcload worked and I got my SGI to boot.
