The O2 is still unsupported. Even the mainline Linux/MIPS
kernel does not yet run on the O2 "out of the box" (although
the basic patchset has become quite small), so 
getting support for the O2 into Debian will probably need
quite some time.

The current Debian/stable CDs are only for IP22 (SGI Indy and
Indigo2 with R4k or R5k CPUs).
