-xdev is a GNU find extension. On Irix, I think you need to use -mount
instead.

Somewhere that isn't below /psd1, by the looks of it. Is a separate
filesystem mounted on /psd1, or is it part of the root fs? If it's
the latter (and the evidence presented so far impies it is), then
you need to run:

	find / -mount -inum 352655799 -print
