fx & boot--host , mybe useful, In fact I just admin Orig

Invoke 'fx' from the IRIX Installation Tools CD, from the IRIX
     Installation Tools and Overlays (1 of 2/3) CD, or from your first
     IRIX CD whatever is appropriate..

     If you want to run fx.ARCS and if you have the IRIX 6.5.1 Overlay
     CD don't do it. Rather invoke 'fx' from the IRIX Installation
     Tools CD.

     If your CPU type is IP12 or IP17 the command (a single line) is:

       boot -f dksc(ctlr,unit,sash.<cpu>;
        dksc(ctlr,unit,7)stand/fx.<cpu>; --x

     If your CPU type is IP19, IP20, or IP22 the command (a single
     line) is:

       boot -f dksc(ctlr,unit,sashARCS
         dksc(ctlr,unit,7)stand/fx.ARCS --x

     For IRIX 6.5.x:

     For systems with the 32 bit ARCS PROM (Indigo, Indigo2, Indy,
     Onyx, Challenge and O2), the command (a single line) is:

       boot -f dksc(ctlr,unit,sashARCS dksc(ctlr,unit,7)stand/fx.ARCS

     For systems with 64-bit ARCS PROM (for example, Power Challenge,
     Power Onyx, Power Indigo2, Indigo2 10000, Origin, Onyx2, and
     OCTANE) the command (a single line) is:

       boot -f dksc(ctlr,unit,sash64 dksc(ctlr,unit,7)stand/fx.64
     
     where <ctlr>; and <unit>; are the controller and unit numbers of the
     CDROM drive as shown by 'hinv'.

     To invoke 'fx' over the network from a CD with installation tools
     mounted under CDdir on an installation server named server, enter
     this command:

     >;>; boot -f bootp()server:CDdir/stand/<fx_call_as_shown_above>;
