- arcboot is a bootloader for SGI/MIPS IP22 and IP32 machines like the Indy,
- Indigo2 and O2. It is able to boot the Linux kernel from ext2 and ext3

+Description: Tftp boot image builder for MIPS based SGI IP22 and IP32 machines
tip22 is used to merge kernel and initrd into one bootable image. This
image also contains a small loader stub that copies the kernel to its
load address and appends the ramdisk. This is useful for booting via tftp or
