it seems that silo is not or not correctly installed into the bootblock of your boot-device. your boot device seems to be /sbus/SUNW, [EMAIL PROTECTED],8800000/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 verify by {0} ok printenv boot-device and maybe {0} ok devalias <first alias from the command above> you could try to boot the rescue system from cd and pass the right root-device to the kernel. ie: {0} ok boot cdrom and at silo prompt: boot: rescue root=/dev/sd... then your system should boot. fix /etc/silo.conf and rerun silo > Is there any other possibilities?? > What disks are in the machine?
