I've uploaded my current development kernel with support for bootp
and nfs-root compiled it:

ftp://ftp.linux.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/test/vmlinux-indy-990205.gz

BTW I want to make sure, that the kernel also boots headless (Challange S
simulation), can I just remove the newport from the Indy ?

sure, but be prepared to do some hacking. There is no out of the box
cross compiling stuff.
