A recompile of 3.0.19 with a current Linux/MIPS cvs snapshot is available
for testing at

ftp://bolugftp.uni-bonn.de/pub/mipsel-linux/woody-bootfloppies/bf-3.0.19-recompile-unofficial

This is mostly untested due to time constraints on my part (I have only
booted it and tried whether the menu works on a 5000/150). Could you try
it on your R3k machines?
