This was in reply to another person's question, and that person (who had a problem) had swap as the first partition. I don't see how you conclude one from the other. The man said that it works for him(tm)... that sounds relevant :) I confirm ;-) I have several Sparc (U1, U2, U60, U80, U420) that run fine for a very long time with raid1 partition /boot that start on the first cylinder (Sun disklabel). Silo is installed on partitions, not on whole disk. Regards, JKB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
