Hi,
I'm looking at what needs to be be done for mips support in
debian-installer, and it appears we probably need arcboot support.
Currently the installers prepare the disk image, then present a menu
option to run lilo, or grub (which get run in a chroot of the target).
Would the same work for arcboot?
( I do not have a mips box to test, but could write the package for
testing).
Regards,
Alastair McKinstry
