I've finished MIPS4/Big-endian/N32 stages and the stage3 tarball is |
2 |
available on my dev space [1]. Being MIPS4, it's compatible with most |
3 |
SGI machines that Linux supports. |

5 |
I'd really appreciate some testing and feedback so I can know what to |
6 |
fix. It contains a very modern toolchain (gcc-4.5.1, glibc-2.11.2-r3, |
7 |
binutils-2.20.1-r1) and should give you a good base system. Since it |
8 |
uses the N32 ABI, it should be a bit faster too. :) |

10 |
We don't have any modern netboot or CD images to allow you to boot |
11 |
easily, so if you use something from /experimental/mips/, then your |
12 |
first priority should be to get a bootloader and kernel compiled so |
13 |
the system can be self-hosting. |
14 |
|
15 |
So, go test! |

(Also, I'm also making MIPS3/Big-endian/N32 stages for SGI systems |
18 |
like R4k Indy and Indigo2. Little-endian stages are on the TODO list.) |
