I brought up linux on the PPC403 version of an NCD x-terminal.  As I recall I
had to write program to hack the elf header to get kernels to load.

The project is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/explora-linux/

And the program to hack the kernel elf file is 

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/explora-linux/ncdhack/ncdhack.c

You may get lucky and find they used the same format for MIPS...
