Yes, you need to leave it there - the SGI Volume Header takes up the first few 
blocks of the disk.

Assuming your installation has completed correctly, all you need to do is 
change the OSLoader variable in your ARCS firmware from ``/sash'' (or 
``sash'') to ``boot'' - it's still looking for the IRIX boot loader. This is 
easily done by typing ``setenv OSLoader boot" at the ARCS console (enter 
Maintenance Mode and select ``Enter Command Monitor").
