<sect2 arch="mipsel"><title>CPU, Main Boards, and Video Support</title>
<para>
Complete information regarding supported mips/mipsel machines can be
found at <ulink url="&url-mips-howto;">Linux MIPS HOWTO</ulink>. The
purpose of this section is to describe the systems supported by the
boot disks.
</para>
<sect3><title>CPU/Machine types</title>
<para>
Currently only DECstations with R3000 and R4000/R4400 CPUs are
supported by the Debian installation system on little endian MIPS.
The Debian installation system works on the following machines:

Linux/MIPS also works on the DECstation 5000/200, but this is not
supported by the Debian installation system currently.
</para>
</sect3>
<sect3><title>Supported console options</title>
<para>
Serial console is available on all supported DECstations (9600 bps,
8N1). For using serial console, you have to boot the installer image
with the "console=ttySx" kernel parameter (with "x" being the number
of the serial port you have your terminal connected to - usually "2",
but "0" for the Personal DECstations). On 3MIN and 3MAX+ (DECstation
5000/1xx, 5000/240 and 5000/260) local console is available with the
PMAG-BA and the PMAGB-B graphics options.
</para><para>
If you would like to have support for other subarchitectures, please
contact the
<ulink url="&url-list-subscribe;">debian-mips mailing list</ulink>.
</para><para>
If you have a Linux system to use as serial terminal, an easy way
is to run cu (part of the <classname>uucp</classname> package) on it.
Example:
<informalexample><screen>
cu -l /dev/ttyS1 -s 9600
</screen></informalexample>
</para><para>
where the option "-l" (line) sets the serial port to use and "-s" (speed)
sets the speed for the connection (9600 bits per second).
