Unable to install: Indy R4000/16MB
I'm trying to install debian mips on a SGI Indy (R4000/100MHz, 16MB RAM,
8-bit video). I'm booting from the network succesfully and I'm also able
to create and activate a 100MB swap + 900MB linux partition and configure
the network using DHCP without any problem. Then I download the kernel
modules/drivers + Base System from the network. This is where I start to
have problems. Either during download or during the installation process
the system hangs: The installation process stops, I'm unable to execute
commands (like df, free) in the shell (alt+F2). I do not see any error
message on the log screens (alt+F3, alt+F4). Currently I can reach a point
where I see the following message:
======== Installing Base System - alt-F4 to debug, alt-F1 to return =====

| Installing core packages...

Any idea/help?
