This cannot work, as Debian/MIPS currently only support SGI IP22 systems,
but not the SNI RM200(C).
What kind of machine do you have exactly - an RM200 (with a VLB slot)
or an RM200C (with PCI)? Which endianess (delivered with NT/MIPS: little
endian; delivered with Sinix/Reliant Unix: big endian)?
The only combination currently supported by Linux/MIPS at all is the
little-endian RM200C, and there is no Debian installer support for it as
none of the Debian people has such a machine. In case you have the little
endian firmware disks for an RM200C, we might me able to change that.
