Thanks for any : information you can provide :) Your best bet is to run NetBSD on it. Various FreeBSD/mips projects have failed to get off the ground and NetBSD/mips support is quite strong these days. If you still want FreeBSD, then getting NetBSD/sgimips running on it first might be a good first step.
