add a a getty for /dev/ttyS0 to your /etc/inittab and remove the other
gettys for tty0-5.

You can get it from the CVS on ftp.linux.sgi.com. But there are some
minor patches missing, which I've used for the test kernels. I'll check the
stuff in next weekend and create a source tarball.

If the second ethernet is the same as the first one, it should just be a
matter of adding the necessary probing stuff. For the other SCSI adapter
your out of luck. I do have a datasheet for the wd33c95, but I doubt it's
possible to write a driver with just this information. The wd33c95 is a scsi
script processor (for me it looks a little bit like the NCR53C7xx/8xx
chips). So we would need a script first, but I don't have any idea how
write one, because this information is missing in the datasheet.

milo doesn't work for the Indy. Ralf told me about another boot stuff, which
would allow us to get the kernel from an ext2 partition. Ralf any news ?

This device has completely bogus header. Compaq scores again :-|
It's a host bridge, but it should be called ghost bridge instead ;^)
