I brought up linux on the PPC403 version of an NCD x-terminal. As I recall I
had to write program to hack the elf header to get kernels to load.
The project is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/explora-linux/
And the program to hack the kernel elf file is
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/explora-linux/ncdhack/ncdhack.c
You may get lucky and find they used the same format for MIPS...
