Things that I noticed in the installer:
When I selected update, the installer thought that my main xfs partition
was a swap file and wouldn't let me mount it as '/', so I had to choose
to format it.
When running in expert mode from the install floppy, I wasn't prompted
for NIS installation information like I have been in the past for Redhat
installers. ( I don't know if this is specific to the SGI installer, or
Redhat related )
I tried GRUB and it didn't work for me, so I booted the floppy and XFS
cdrom read the grub instructions and made a GRUB boot floppy, but it
appeared that it thought my main partition was ext2 at startup and
refused to start dumping me to filesystem repair instead.
I eventually reinstalled and used Lilo.
