Unfortunately no. But even nonbootable CDs would be a good thing. Are
there any problems building these without additional patches?
I'll try to find some time to look into the debian-cd package but I fear
it will not be feasable for mips since our bootloader(arcboot) currently
only reads ext2 fs which is also true for delo(the mipsel bootloader) I
think.
