Hmm, Linux does not seem to boot - I tried the Live CD from
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/mips/index.xml and it hangs similar
to NetBSD now:

Insert the installation CD-ROM, then press <enter>: 
                                                    
ARCLoader version 0.43 (c) 2004-5 Stanislaw Skowronek
Loading configuration for '/vmlinux'...              
Detecting system parameters...         
Loading pci(0)scsi(0)cdrom(4)partition(8)/ip32r5k...
Reading 6422799 bytes... OK.                        
Entering kernel.            
                

Is the secondary cache on O2 R5k mainboard socketed?
