+Debian on &arch-title; currently supports two subarchitectures:
+
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para>
+
+SGI IP22: this platform includes the SGI machines Indy, Indigo 2 and
+Challenge S.  Since these machines are very similar, whenever this document
+refers to the SGI Indy, the Indigo 2 and Challenge S are meant as well.
+
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+
+Broadcom BCM91250A (SWARM): this is an ATX form factor evaluation board from
+Broadcom based on their SiByte processor family.
+

+
+Complete information regarding supported mips/mipsel machines can be found
+at the <ulink url="&url-linux-mips;">Linux-MIPS homepage</ulink>.  In the
+following, only the systems supported by the Debian installer will be
+covered.  If you are looking for support for other subarchitectures, please
+contact the <ulink url="&url-list-subscribe;">
+debian-&architecture; mailing list</ulink>.

+<para>
+
+On SGI IP22, SGI Indy, Indigo 2 and Challenge S with R4000, R4400, R4600 and R5000
+processors are supported by the Debian installation system on big endian
+MIPS.  The Broadcom BCM91250A evaluation board comes with an SB1250 chip with
+two SB-1 cores which are supported in SMP mode by this installer.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Some MIPS machines can be operated in both big and little endian mode.  For
+little endian MIPS, please read the documentation for the mipsel
+architecture.
