I had some problems when trying to do it (with test3). I copied all the
ISOs (XFS, seawolf-1, seawolf-2) to a directory on /home partition,
booted up with boot disk (from XFS iso) and pointed the anaconda
installer to ISOs. I chose to reformat all partitions as XFS except
/home. Installation went without a hitch but when it rebooted the new
kernel paniced; it could not mount root device - unsupported
filesystem. So I reboot with XFS-enabled boot disk and have a look
around. I turned out that anaconda had installed Red Hat's kernel
instead of SGI's, so it had no XFS support. Luckily I a had prepared a
boot disk earlier!
So I installed the XFS kernel rpm and rebooted. I figured some other
things might have gone wrong in the install so I decided to burn the
ISO's and reinstall from CD-ROM.
