First -- you`re right to use the arcboot image from debian -- that`s how i got
it working.
Second -- not all kernels will run successfully, indeed -- the one i used was
the glaurung 2.6.1 kernel from:
http://www.linux-mips.org/~glaurung/
This is the only kernel which worked for me so far, and it is not without it`s
share of flaws, namely -- RTC, framebuffer, the AD-based sound chip and mouse
all having issues. Also it hangs (at times) =)
Hope this helps.
