http://www.linux-mips.org/~glaurung/ contains EXPERIMENTAL code for
making Linux run on SGI Octane, and perhaps the O2. Use at your own
risk. Good luck if you can even make it boot.

Definitely you can't make the Debian CD's boot from O2 - network install
or bootstrapping from another Unix might be the only option.

If you need an Open-source Unix-based OS on the O2, try NetBSD-current.
If you're looking for SGI IRIX installers though, you might try your
workstation's vendor for more info.
