well, using cat an the /proc system, I get this information out of the
ss20 box:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /proc/openprom/options/boot-device
'disk net'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /proc/openprom/options/boot-file
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
so perhaps I need to set these to, hmm, what?

Hi all,
Perhaps you set it correctly, but you did not mention it:
What is the default boot device (eg drive) setting of the open boot-prom?
If it does not point to where the primary bootloader is located (I guess in your
case sda...)
It will try to execute someting else, not necesarily sparc binary code.
I had the same message a while ago after i reinstalled the system, and forgot to
set this variable.
You can check it under linux with the eeprom command, or with printenv at the
open-boot-prom level.

Hi,
Hej.
I have woody installed on both an ss20 and an ss5. On the ss5 I boot
from disk but that does not work onth ss20 @Illegal instruction@
something. I boot the ss20 from the rescue disk.
Could it be that vmlinux is not within the first 1GB? Seems it has to be
there for silo/openboot to be ably to load it.
Nah, don't think so. This is the putput of df on my ss20:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ df -h
FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda4 718M 564M 118M 83% /
/dev/sda1 19M 3.5M 14M 19% /boot
/dev/sdb1 986M 359M 577M 39% /usr
/dev/sdc1 688M 482M 172M 74% /var

/dev/sdd2 982M 785M 147M 85% /share2

and this is the content of /boot
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls /boot/
C0A80102.SUN4M
fd.b lost+found tftpboot.img
System.map-2.2.19-sun4cdm first.bold.b ultra.b

config-2.2.19-sun4cdm
ieee32.b silotftp.b vmlinuz-2.2.19-sun4cdm
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
and finally this is my silo.conf:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ less /etc/silo.conf
partition=1
root=/dev/sda4
timeout=100
image=1/vmlinuz
label=linux
read-only
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
So really, I'm out of ideas. If you have any, please help me out.
Cheers,
