Data my sgi system doesn't come up

Smilie Hi there,

I have an O2 sgi and the other day when I was restarting the system it didn't come up. The error message is:

unable to open "si(0)disk(2)rdisk(0)partition(0)": no such device

I was assuming a hardware problem, but not for sure.
Is there any one who could kindly tell me what the error message means?

Cheers, Siavoush

Check your cable connections if external drives - re-seat your disk if internal. But it could be a bad drive.
