Please add the following to the mipsel section; this applies to Cobalt
machines (subarch mipsel/cobalt).
CoLo, the Cobalt boot loader which is used to load the installer via
DHCP and NFS, has some known bugs in its DHCP client implementation.
This may result in failures to obtain an IP address from the server.
This has been confirmed to be the case with a Windows 2000 DHCP server
and may apply to other DHCP servers. If you experience problems
obtaining an IP address via DHCP and you are confident that your DHCP
server is configured properly, please download a <a href =
"http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/installer-mipsel/current/images/cobalt/netboot/vmlinux.gz";>newer
version of CoLo</a> and replace /nfsroot/vmlinux.gz with it on your
DHCP/NFS server. The DHCP problems have been addressed in this
version.
