bringing up Debian MIPS64
Hi,
I was hoping to boot Debian on this SGI Origin 200 (I think):
>> hinv
System SGI-IP27
2 180 MHz IP27 Processors
Main memory size: 128 Mbytes
Integral SCSI controller 0
Integral SCSI controller 1
Integral Fast Ethernet
IOC3 serial port
Integral SCSI controller 2
Integral SCSI controller 3
Integral SCSI controller 4
>> bootp()/tftpboot.img
Setting $netaddr to 192.168.0.2 (from server 192.168.0.1)
Obtaining tftpboot.img from server 192.168.0.1
Unable to execute bootp()/tftpboot.img: execute format error
>> bootp()/vmlinux-ip27-2.4.21-pre4
Setting $netaddr to 192.168.0.2 (from server 192.168.0.1)

I followed
http://www.linux-debian.de/howto/debian-mips-woody-install.html
but that doesn't seem to go. That seems to address 32-bit IP22
processors. I found vmlinux-ip27-2.4.21-pre4, but it failed too.
Anyone have experience netbooting Linux on an Origin 200?
(I suppose I could go over to linux-mips.org, but since my goal
is to bring up Debian, I figure I'd ask here first.)
I'd be willing to try out any new things for the Debian-Installer
if there exists something that might boot.
