This would be because Linux/MIPS is still mostly a work in progress - if you need installation instructions, you probably shouldn't be working with it yet. There is some support for O2 in the pipe, and Linux is reputed to be able to boot on them. I'm not sure about Octanes. Linux/MIPS can boot on Indy's but is very immature. I do suggest sticking to Irix if you want to be actually able to do anything with such a box.
