Jurij,
I know you asked me to try this out a long time ago but I finally got
around to actually doing it. :) Here's a boot attempt using OpenBSD:

It seems to get *farther*, at least, and it doesn't report back the
same error (just reboots). Dunno if that helps or not.. This was
using:

The reason that this new version of silo is not yet in the archive is that it has a regression. When I tested it on my Ultra 10, I noticed that it did not respect the timeout setting I have in my silo.conf. It just kept sitting there waiting for input. Jurij said yesterday on IRC that with the CD he created silo did not prompt for input at all, but just booted. That also is not correct behavior. I've sent a mail to Ben Collins about the first point, but there was no reply yet. Cheers, Frans Pop pgpQZ8pGEBNh0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Unofficial CD featuring SILO 1.4.11 available
Hi, I've built a businesscard CD, which uses SILO 1.4.11 to boot [0]. It is believed that the new version of SILO has some important bugfixes, which might solve the problems on newer machines, where the old SILO just fails [1]. It would be great if everyone who encountered problems with booting from CD could test it and report their experiences. Note that this CD has been done mostly for SILO testing, and it might have problems installing a complete system for you (if you decide to use it this way, keep in mind that it will install sid and the old SILO is going to be installed for hard drive booting).
