No, it doesn't, I can deal with netbooting it, or I can shove a kernel
into an xfs partition now that there's XFS support in the mainstream
kernel. I just want a netboot installer image that'll lay down
something useful on the disk... I don't have any other MIPS systems
running Debian yet that can do that, though I suppose I could try
installing to another machine and move the disk over...
