root@wheezy:/mnt# cat boot.cfg
timeout 3
default 0
showmenu 1
title wheezy (sda6 3.6-aa)
kernel (wd0,0)/vmlinuz_aa
args console=tty quiet root=/dev/sda6
btw:
(wd0,0) --> the first partion
you have to put boot.cfg in / or /boot dir under the first partion(ext3).
Have fun :)

I just received my Loongson-3A laptop. I would like to install an
alternative OS. Preferably, Debian Wheeyz, Parabola, anything really.
Both Debian and Parabola have userspace working on 3A and no kernel for
it. (Parabola didn't several months ago: due to the lack of English
documentation I did not know that 3A doesn't implement some 2F
instructions before trying.)
Most my attempts at building working kernels for this device failed,
maybe you can do this. The 3.5 kernel that was shipped with the device
has important bugs related to power management and has some options
required by Parabola disabled. Rebuilding it with different config and
disabled autohotplug solved this (newer kernels should fix crashes
during CPU hotplug).
Parabola is slow: important packages like WebKit or Iceweasel have no
support for N32 and the graphics driver depending on nonfree firmware
isn't provided. xf86-video-modesetting works.
I can't find any instructions in English on how to install such OS, or
where to get OS images. I realize this is probably because the laptop
is new.
I used debootstrap from the stock OS to install Debian on another
partition. For Parabola extraction of a tar archive with a system
installed elsewhere works (using e.g. pacman's --root option).
Afterwards I needed to add a /boot/boot.cfg entry. There is no
knowledge specific to the laptop needed here, documentation for 2F
should work too.
Thanks for the info. I will go ahead and install Parabola, since I've
used Arch before and am familiar with the distribution. I also noticed
that the Parabola doco for 2F is pretty self-explanatory, so I'll start
from there.
One last thing, if possible, could you post your example /boot/boot.cfg
entry?
Thanks.
