I think the port-sgimips archives have a patch for this, and I also think
that they were committed after I moved to serial console. I didn't
test/verify it works, thus.

I hear there's some good work in progress (from various people...), but
it's not in the tree yet. Right now I slurp the kernel via tftp, then
mount root from sd1 and boot from that. Works fine. :)

BTW I did a 'make build' last week (after the new toolchain was enabled?),
and it went through fine. I was told that the set lists will get fixed
soon, and I'll probably upload a new snapshot then. Doing a 'make build'
on your own shouldn't be a problem, it just takes some time. My Indy
(150MHz) took ~15h when netbooted (I didn't use then disk then).
