Tried on my U10, just to check for regressions on systems that already
work...
The initial boot is fine, but ramdisk_size seems to be set too

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.

Sorry for the erroneous time stamp on my

keeps time better than the previous one.

Actually, it seems the SCSI controllers & Debian act very weirdly - what
OpenBoot thinks is device 1 when there are six drives installed, Debian
does not think is sda, but rather something like sde. Very odd, but I
fnially figured out which slot is which drive and SILO works now.

I'm currently trying to install Debian on a Sun Enterprise 450 with a
SCSI drive. OpenBSD's bootloader has worked fine in the past, but when
trying to install silo, it seems that nothing ever gets written onto the
disk; when booting, OpenBoot can't recognize any

I tried "setenv boot-device /dev/sda1" at the ok prompt, but had no
luck. How do I specify for it to use the first partition on the first
harddr
I had the same problem:
I forgot to set the boot device in the eeprom
you can set this when you have the "OK" prompt.

Umm no?
Why would I have a sun label? Using the rescue disk I can use the
floppy's kernel to mount the file system. Wouldn't I need Solaris
installed to make a Sun disk label? I guess what I'm wondering is why
I'm
Have you created a Sun disk label on the disk ?

Installing on a sparcstation two, I'm trying to reboot.
In my /etc/silo.conf:
partition=1
root=/dev/sda1
timeout=100
image=vmlinuz
label=Linux
I then run: # /sbin/silo
and it brings me back to a root prompt.
However when I reboot, I don't even get the "S" from SILO, but t
