Hi All, I installed debian 3 on my Sun sparc netra i20 using only the first disk. But during boot up to complete my installation I received the following errors:
SILO buggy old PROMs don't allow reading past 1GB from start of the disk.. Read error on block 327684 Cannot find /etc/silo.conf (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) Could'nt load /etc/silo.conf prior to this, I created a /boot partition of 10MB and the rest was for the system, "So I guess that SILO buggy old PROM.." error shouldn't appear, but it did. Also, I'm confused about the start cylinder, in debian, it says that it should start at cylinder 0, but in Mandrake 7.1 for sparc, it says it should start at cylinder 1 because starting from 0 will damage the partition. What is the correct one?. Though I tried both it didn't make any difference. Please help. Thanks. -Lito _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
