Sorry, you're asking the wrong guy.

The 3rd edition mips kernel wasn't for SGI machines, and
wasn't released with the 4th edition, which
is too bad: it is an excellent reference to the kernel.

Documentation on SGI hardware hard to come by, making a port
extremely difficult.

The mips work I was referring to was for the Playstation 2,
more as a cool demo and as a learning experience. It at least
has (some) documentation.

Good luck.

John
