Can you boot the installer and say what /proc/cpuinfo says?

However, most likely the problem is simply because the mips images are currently out of date. I suggest you install stable (etch) since this is known to be working.
I've just triedhttp://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-mips/current/images/r5k-ip32/netboot-boot.img
which gave me the same problem. Is that what you were suggesting I try - or is there another image I should look for? Wayne
