I was trying arcboot from my Indigo2.
I was trying to find a proper kernel to give it (ELF) and only
came accross one that i found on the oss.sgi.com ftp site:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] sgi]$ file vmlinux-2.4.3-20010422-IP22-4400
vmlinux-2.4.3-20010422-IP22-4400: ELF 32-bit MSB mips-1 executable, MIPS
R3000_BE, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped

I would assume that this kernel should boot on my Indigo2 (R4k).
But alas, it just hangs when trying to load it.

Am a running the wrong kernel? Is there somewhere where I can get
precompiled kernels for mips?
