I have one of these collecting dust too, I haven't tried to boot it up
in years. Mine is missing most of the /usr tree as it was mounted
remotely in it's last installation, and i don't have the tapes or
manuals.
Uses an R3000 25mhz i think, or maybe it was 33.
I don't believe there's a linux port in the works for these. I bought
mine for sentimental value (hosted my first unix account) but these days
it's looking more and more like just a big heavy chunk of equipment.
