In message <20020212142126.A20077@openbsd.cz>, you write:
-> What is current state of support for Indigo2 with Solid Impact ? I mean,
-> is it possible to boot to multiuser and start X ?
X is a definite no (nobody in the NetBSD camp has done any X work, AFAIK),
and the only thing X supports is the newport & XL graphics (which IIRC is
just the I2 version of newport).
If it's a R4k impact, it should be fine; R10k Indigo2's are not supported
as there are Hard Problems to solve due to cache coherency issues (ie, lack
thereof)... There's a great email explaining the issues from ex-SGIer Jeff
Smith on this subject early on in the archives...
