I'm currently trying to install Gentoo MIPS on an IP30 without
monitor (and hence no keyboard connected). Connection to the
Octane is made serially from a laptop running minicom.

I think, the machine (R12000 @ 400 MHz, 2 GByte RAM) boots the
ip30-r10k+-20050820.img image file correctly:

bootp(): root=/dev/ram0

Setting $netaddr to 192.168.0.70 (from server )
Obtaining  from server
8520560+306368 entry: 0xa800000020799000

but there is no further output; probably there is no getty
running on the serial port.

Why don't you pass...

console=ttyS0,9600n8

...to your kernel as a try (see diverse serial console howtos)? ;)
