Hi,
as a related note: updated mips boot-floppies are available at:
http://honk.physik.uni-konstanz.de/linux-mips/install/
I checked them myself and had success reports from others using them.
Would be nice to see them in R2. Anything I can do to help with that?

Hi,
Attached are some more small patches for mips. This is all very r4k-ip22
centric but I tried to make adding other subarches as easy as possible.
The patches against dbootstrap are for the upcoming dvhtool support
mostly.

The attached patch finally adds dvhtool support so we can make ip22
systems directly bootable from harddisk. This should make the mips
specific part of the bootdisks basically feature complete.
