Attach console cable and ethernet cable.
On host, configure it to a known IP, e.g. I use
ifconfig re0 192.168.0.1
enable tftp via uncommenting the /etc/inetd.conf entry and restarting
inetd.
in /tftpboot, place ERLITE INSTALL kernel.
e.g. /tftpboot/erlite-install

cu -s 115200 -l /dev/ttyU0

On u-boot console (not in linux):
set serverip 192.168.0.1
set ipaddr 192.168.0.5
tftp $loadaddr erlite-install
bootoctlinux

netbsd should boot fine. ignore the installer.
In the msdos filesystem, replace vmlinux.64 with a netbsd ERLITE kernel
(not INSTALL).
replace the ext4 filesystem with a better root filesysttem for
netbsd,like FFSv2.

Configure networking to fetch the sets from the host. Use mips64eb sets.
ifconfig cnmac0 192.168.0.5
route add default 192.168.0.1

scp myhostusername@192.168.0.1:/path/to/sets/*.tgz .
cd /
for i in *.tgz; do tar xzpf $i; done

Reboot.

It works, but some things are not supported as good as e.g. amd64.
