Automate the setup of SGI indy mame more #7

Open majiru opened 10 months ago

Currently the mame included in this repo does nothing more then provide the binary needed as a jumping off point. My initial testing with attempting to interact with the indy via a serial console were not successful. While possible to use bootp with the SGI PROM, it is also possible for us to create a minimal SGI disk image that just contains our kernel. Considering this configuration is almost entirely historical curiosity, and fringe testing desires I would consider this to a fairly low priority.
