I cannot say anything about the state of the oss kernel tree on cobalt
hardware, but if you get a kernel running on your box, I can try to
get support for the machine into the debian installer. What I need for
this is a .config for the kernel you use and the output of
"cat /proc/cpuinfo" on your cube2. If you need an NFS-root for testing,
you can build one with debootstrap:
debootstrap --arch mipsel woody /my/nfs/root/dir/ ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian
If you have further questions, feel free to ask.
