CentOS - Oct 2005 - Centos 4.1 on RaQ 550?

Has anyone ever tried to install 4.0 or 4.1 on an old Sun RaQ 550 Cobalt 
machine? If so would you be willing to share your procedure and experience?

I have spent several hours googling and have found how to do this with 
Fedora Core 1 using a 2.4 kernel. However I am wondering what Cobalt 
specific patches have to be applied to get 2.6 kernel to work. I have 
not found anything related to building a functional 2.6 kernel for the 
RaQ 550. Otherwise, I am assuming that the install procedure would be 
very similar for Centos 4.1 and Fedora Core 1.

We used to have some of those.  I believe the Cobalt RaQ 550 is MIPS-based.
I am not sure there is a version of Centos that runs on MIPS processors.  

If you do find an answer to this, please share it with the list.  I would
love to resurrect some of those boxes with Centos and BlueQuartz!
