What is meant by "SGI-bootable CD-ROM drive"?

Technolust: The Indigo Page (Silicon Graphics - SGI)
Easy: the Indigo is only capable of booting from select CD-ROM drives. So if you are buying a CD-ROM drive for an Indigo, take care about which drive you purchase, depending on your needs. Essentially, for a drive to be bootable, it needs to be able to use a 512-byte block size. This usually isn't advertised as a feature, so you're better off going by brand and model.

If the laptop does not need the battery it should be run to about 40% charge and stored in a cool place.
