First of all I don't know if there is any documentation available for
the Octane. Furthermore it might have the problem explained in:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-sgimips/2000/06/29/0006.html
which bites at least the I2 and O2 R10k, but the link below states
something different:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-sgimips/2002/02/22/0001.html
People at linux-mips@oss.sgi.com will know a lot more than me about
this.
Good luck,
