Ok, I found a 4.5MB boot.img file which is supposed to be the netboot debian installer for r3k-kn03 mipsel. mopd doesn't seem to like it's a.out-ness. mopchk gives (I named it DEBIAN.SYS for the purpose of mop booting): Checking: DEBIAN.SYS Some failure in GetAOutFileInfo Does mopd work with a.out files? I read somewhere it doesn't. Is this the install image you speak of? There doesn't seem to be a cd-rom version. I really have difficulties with Debian's site. Any help you guys could offer me would be appreciated. Cheers, Collin
