Yes. You need something like
append="md=0,/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/part1,/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1"
in your silo.conf.

Hi,
Does anyone know why postfix-tls is not built for sparc? I built it
locally and the build seemed to go alright; I haven't tested the
package yet. It struck me as rather odd that it wasn't available from
the mirrors ...

Is it possible to compile a sun4cdm kernel on a sun4u? Reason I ask

Hello,
It's my understanding that SILO cannot handle a dirty ext3 root
partition as it really only understands ext2. Is this correct? If
so, I think the sparc install docs should mention that at least your
root should be ext2; ext3 (or some other fs) is ok for the rest of
your partitions.

I have a Netra i which is a sun4c (right?). It runs fine with kernel
2.2.x. However, I'm trying to get a 2.4.x kernel working. I've tried
2.4.18 and 2.4.19, but both fail at the "init_bootmem" line which is
apparently printed by arch/sparc/mm/init.c . I've googled to see if
anyone has experienc

*sigh* I think I've managed to screw up my system here. I installed
the libc6 from Incoming, and then reinstalled the version in the
"frozen" tree, due to a misunderstanding of versioning on my part (I use
the words "scrwed up" for good reason)
Anyway, here's what I get now.

I admit I'm not using the recommended install path - I'm hacking a
RedHat install into a Debian one (that's the plan, anyway). Thanks to

Part of this question has been hashed over a zillion times; for that I
apologise.
I've got a Sun Netra I5, with serial console only. The current Debian
boot disks don't like the serial console, so I used RedHat's instead.
Now I've got this Netra Linux box :)
Now for the hashed over part. Is the

Hi everyone! (how many are on here anyway?)
I'm a happy Debian user on the i386 platform. Recently we inherited a
Sun Netra I5 server, and I'm unhappy with Solaris ... no development
tools means no fun.
So, I decided to try debian-sparc. The rescue disk boots fine, but I
