[geeks] Indigo2 R10k, base install set or Linux pointers?

The disk in my faithful Indigo2 R10k recently died.
I had a replacement disk on hand, but because I had no important data
stored on the machine, I didn't have a good backup. I then discovered
that my 6.5 install set is missing 2 CDs (the two Foundation CDs, of
course), so right now I've got a blank disk and nowhere to go.
A quick look through ePay only shows a few 6.5 base install sets up for
grabs, all at around the $150 price point, which seems a little steep.
Anyone have a base install set they'd like to sell?
Several googlings seem to indicate that Free operating systems don't
support the Indigo2 R10k very well yet - I found some evidence to indicate
that Gentoo has a working netboot image, but no support for the Impact
framebuffer, which is a little disappointing. I'd love to see Linux or
NetBSD boot on this box. Anyone know differently?
