Thanks all for your answers. I did a try and err-search ;) and finally
got it working. I copied the /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17-sun4cdm to
/boot/vmlinuz, rmed the /vmlinuz-symlink and copied it also to this
location. And used image=2/vmlinuz (/dev/sda1 is /boot, sda2 is /) and
it worked... I still have to
Put your /boot under 1GB and put everything needed to boot all your OSes
inside /boot, including all boot sectors from other OSes AND silo.conf
(put a symlink /etc/silo.conf -> /boot/silo.conf). The reason is that silo
reads its conf file at runtime (meaning that you don't need to re-run silo

You've got no choice on some non-sun4u's. Some of the machines are
limited to booting from the first 2GB of a di
Is it SILO that is returning the error or the IPX's PROM parameters? Does the
machine come up and say 'ok boot vmlinuz' and then choke?
When I first started playing with Sun machines I changed the PROM to point to
vmlinuz and got the same error. I believe changing it to 'linux' did the trick.

Do not put /boot on a seperate partition. It confuses silo. Either that or
put this as the image in silo.conf

Hiho...
I just got an SparcStation IPX where I wanted to install Deb 2.2. (first
Deb-install...)
Everything seems to work great, but trying to reboot SILO states "could
