In hb-install-mips-bootloader there is abstract

On both Silicon Graphics machines, and on Cobalt servers, both require the use
of a bootloader to load the kernel.  This section covers setting up
arcboot/arcload (for SGI machines) and colo for Cobalt servers.

But below:

On SGI machines, we use the <c>arcload</c> boot loader.  In previous releases,
we also provided <c>arcboot</c>, however it has been officially declared
obsolete, in favour of <c>arcload</c>.

So, why mention that "This section COVERS SETTING UP
arcboot/arcload", if arcboot is deprecated and we don't recommend it?

Reproducible: Always
