Hi, folks,
In the recent days, I figure out the mips64el rootfs and test it on
Loongson 3A platform.
It works well in general, it's time to release it.
It can be download from:
http://mips64el.debian.net/debian/rootfs/
Nice!
I tested it on our OCTEON boards. Seems to be working. I had to enable
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS and CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT in my kernel and edit /etc/inittab
to put gettys on my serial ports, and set the root password. But after
that, it works seemingly without a hitch.
Great news, while wait... does OCTEON support little endian?
Yes. The kernel.org kernel doesn't yet contain full little-endian
support, but getting little-endian support merged is on our list of
things to do.

To install it, what you need to do is just unpack it to a partition
and configure kernel/bootloader/fstab by yourself.
This is a more detailed instruction for Loongson 3A users:
http://mips64el.debian.net/debian/rootfs/README
Know issues:
1. MIPS64r2 ISA is required,
while we have made a agree to downgrade the requirement to
mips3 in future.
2. The permission is of /usr/bin/crontab is not correct, so you need
to:
apt-get install cron --reinstall
3. some files in /var/cache/man are not correct, you need to:
rm -rf /var/cache/man/* ; mandb
PS: we have 8500+ packages built now.
Happy hacking, and I am wishing your feedback.
