Oh, I wanted to ask this for quite some time: Can I create this volume header without an IRIX installation? The disk in my O2 died, I have another SCA disk (from a Sun), wiped clean. And my old IRIX CDs have read errors, so I can't even install IRIX from scratch just to prepare the disk. Any workarounds? Thanks, chakl
