no init found (IP27)

[David Komanek <xdavid@lib-eth.natur.cuni.cz>]

Hi all,

I am trying to replace IRIX with Debian on my IP27 machine. I have 
downloaded debian-31r0a-mips-netinst.iso, burned a CD on CD-RW which seems 
this media type is not supported on my platform. So I downloaded the files 
to my IRIX machine to a free xfs partition. Now, using the guide from 
http://caradhras.ccslab.aueb.gr/index.html I am able to boot a kernel 
image (which can be also downloaded from there). It recognizes all disks, 
network card etc. but the kernel panices with

"No init found"

messsage. init=/bin/sh or init=/bin/bash passed as a kernel load parameter 
does not work to.

Is there any chance to load the debian installer without the need of tftp 
?

Thans in advance,
