Hm. The 0 MB is what's worrisome, since the kernel doesn't know what kind
of disk you have. Can you partition and format that disk properly under
Irix?
I'd certainly suggest you use a different kernel. Uh, I think there's a
.82 kernel kicking around on ftp.linux.sgi.com. If not, I'll make sure
there is.
