My problem is: I can not load the silo from the ok prompt
When i install Debian, using guided partitioning of Debian Installer,
and the installation finished successfully, after the first reboot I get
the following message:
{0} ok boot disk
Boot device: /pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk@0 File and args:

Hi Jurij,
{0} ok boot disk1
Boot device: /pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk@1 File and args:

{0} ok
Ok, it must be something else then. Usually, when there is a problem
with disklabel, a standard recommendation is to zero out the first few
megabytes of the disks and then write a brand new disklabel to make
sure that everything is ok (warning: this will irrecoverably destroy
all data on the disks!). It goes something like this:
1. Boot the installer as usual.
2. Proceed to the point where the disks are detected and partitioner
is started.
3. Press 'Back' button until you get to installer menu.
4. Choose an option to start a shell.
5. Run the following commands:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=100
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=100
sync
6. Exit the shell and restart the partitioner.
7. Choose the guided partitioning, it should write a new disklabel and
create the partitions.
8. Continue installation as usual.

Jurij,
I followed your tip, but the result was the same.
Attached below the install script to follow, there may be something I
did wrong and not noticed.
If there is anything I can do, I would be grateful in hearing from you.

This is a valid model of partitioning on SPARC?

Hi,
Just try make boot in a correct disk.
boot disk2
I have a pair of raid1 disks and the the installer detects sda in a disk 2.
Debian works fine in SUNT5220 after change the inittab.

Hi again,
Can anyone give me a hint to help start the SILO?
Yes, but sorry it's going to be rather obvious since you didn't
go into detail as to what the problem was. Go to openfirmware
(the ok prompt) and type boot disk (or whatever is needed to
boot of the disk where you installed silo). Then, (this is the
important part) observe what *does* happen. If you can't figure
out how to fix it, it would be easier to help if you actually
tell us what happened. If there is an error, you may want to copy
and paste it. If there is no output whatsoever, you would want to
say that. If it only prints S you would want to say that. It's
a bit hard to guess what went wrong if all you say is that it was
unsuccessful.
As for the SUN disklabel, you seem a bit confused about that, but
it may just be the translation from Portuguese. SUN does not use
the same partitioning scheme as the DOS partitions you are
probably used to. It's not that you need a partition with a label
of SUN, it's that you should be using a sun disklabel rather than
a DOS partition table. But if you're using the installer to
partition the disk, that shouldn't be a problem as it will do the
right thing. If you're partitioning manually and want more
details check man fdisk or
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/BSD_disklabel but
I don't think that's actually the problem.
Ivan
First thanks for trying to help me.
My problem is: I can not load the silo from the ok prompt
When i install Debian, using guided partitioning of Debian Installer,
and the installation finished successfully, after the first reboot I get
the following message:
{0} ok boot disk
Boot device: /pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk@0 File and args:
Bad magic number in disk label
Can't open disk label package
ERROR: boot-read fail
Can't open boot device
For the record, before I run the partitioning, I deleted the partition
table of disks with the command dd (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda
count=2 bs=512, sdb too)
On this machine I have 4 HDD, 2 SCSI drives with a pair of drives
configured with RAID 1 on each controller.
The disks are detected by the Debian Installer as sda and sdb, sda I'm
using to install the system.
I'll be grateful for any additional information you can provide me, and
I apologize for not sending the correct information in the first message.
Thank you.

I read a lot, but unfortunately I can reach the end of successful installation, with all the hardware detected and functional, but I can not boot from a ILOM. The only way I could access my Debian on SUM T5220 was through the rescue mode of DI. So after all this saga, I'd like a hint of you on how to make Debian boot properly SILO from the ILOM. This machine is at my disposal, so I can try any hint that you want to post so we can report a successful installation of for the DI guys and the staff of the SPARC port.
