NetBSD/newsmips 1.6.1 still has a bug which prevents booting
on serial console. This bug has been fixed on -current
and netbsd-1-6 branch, so boot.fs of fothcomming 1.6.2
should work. You could try 1.6.2_RC3 binaries on releng server:
ftp://releng.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-1-6-PATCH002-RC3/

-current sysinst has been quite improved and now it uses
gzip -l option, but bootdisk for newsmips uses
src/distrib/utils/x_gzip and it doesn't have -l support
though now non-GPLed src/usr.bin/gzip does.
I'll commit the fix the bootdisk to use it later.
