You have to use arcboot for that. Arcboot's a hair slow at reading kernels off disk, but wesolows made a wicked patch I'm going to test soon and put into portage which will dramatically speed up disk loading. Just `emerge arcboot`, and follow the instructions printed after the build finishes, and things should work out fine. If not, drop a note here about it. --Kumba -- "Such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere." --Elrond -- gentoo-mips@gentoo.org mailing list
