Take a look at: http://www.linux-debian.de/howto/debian-mips-woody-install.html
It's specifically for an Indy, so it may not work completely for an Indigo, but it may be a starting point. Having another Debian box on the same network was quite advantageous when it came to setting up my Indy. The one thing that I would caution you on is that when you partition your hard drive, make sure that the SGI partition is ~70 blocks. Otherwise there won't be enough room for the kernel. (that's where it goes, as opposed to the root directory like on other linux installs. Good Luck!
