Neither CD nor floppy boot is supported by the default installer. Either install via tftp/dhcp (a howto is at: http://www.linux-debian.de/howto/debian-mips-woody-install.html ) or build your own bootable CD. Please search the mailing list archives for the later. Any improvements to the boot-floppies documentation are very welcome. In the I2 only the XL graphics options is supported at the moment, however serial console install works fine. -- Guido
