I'm working on MIPS Linux on my Indigo2.
Can you give me a more detailed description of your system please ?

Defenitely. At the moment there is some heavy development and we hope to have
stable binutils and glibc-2.2 soon (glibc 2.2 is still cvs).
With some patches 2.3.99-pre8 works at least for me and looks ok at the
moment.

That's somewhat incorrect. The fdisk which comes with the HardHat is doing
fine. At least I was able to partition my hardrive with it.
If you are really interested in installing Linux on your system you should
email me with a description of your system or better come to
irc.openprojects.net / #mipslinux and we can discuss the subject there.
