This patch adds a basic mips system detector borrowed from the netboot /linuxrc's that I maintain. The overall end result is purely cosmetic, but may be a starting point for the addition of other arches. Examples of end result: * Hardware detection started ... * Detected an SGI O2 w/ 1 R5000 V2.1 CPU ... [ ok ] * Hardware detection started ... * Detected an SGI Indigo2 Impact w/ 1 R10000 V2.5 CPU ... [ ok ] * Hardware detection started ... * Detected an SGI Origin w/ 16 R10000 V3.4 CPUs ... [ ok ] * Hardware detection started ... * Detected an SGI Octane w/ 2 R12000 V2.3 CPUs ... [ ok ]

OK... I've added this, pretty much as is, to CVS... I plan on abstracting it out a bit to make it work on more CPU/Systems than just MIPS, but you can be sure that this will show up in the next livecd-tools version.
