Running on R4k/R3k Indigo

Hello, folks (of both lists)

I recently got both an R4k and an R3k SGI Indigo. 

I know, none of them is supported at the moment.
So, I want to try to change that.

I hadn't started yet, but every help is appreciated.

P.S.: This was posted to both lists, as I don't know, which OS 
has the better starting point for my computers.

Well... I've started to look at some assembler dumps of the Irix kernel.
This is a lenghty approach, though. That's more than 30MB of text:(

Even with that, there are some issues...

Hi Achim,
I'm also thinking about porting Linux to an R3K Indigo.
So I'm curious --
Did you get any response to your post on linux-mips@linux-mips.org or
port-sgimips@netbsd.org?
Have you made any progress yet?

Cheers,
Jim.
