At least my I2 R10K's Firmware doesn't boot anything else than
ELF64 Kernels loaded at 0x8000000020002000. I'm currently developing
a mips64-linux in 64bit address space due to this. I'd like to know
how your machine behaves WRT this.

What I've figured out via google is this pinout:
13W3-SGI | DB15-VGA | 13W3-SUN
------------------------------
A1 --- 1 --- A1
A1-GND --- 6 --- A1-GND
A2 --- 2 --- A2
A2-GND --- 7 --- A2-GND
A3 --- 3 --- A3
A3-GND --- 8 --- A3-GND
3-CSYNC --- --- 5
4-HSYNC --- 13 ---
5-VSYNC --- 14 ---
--- 10 --- 10
The Impact normally uses HSYNC/VSYNC but can be set to CSYNC mode.

The pinout for a cross cable can be found in the I2 Howto.
