Subject: Cannot open root device

    Hi,

    I'm installing SuSE 7.0 on a UltraSPARC 60. I'm just using all defaults
    (/boot on /dev/sda1, swap on /dev/sda2 and / on /dev/sda4).
    The SILO installation is also default (I supposed!) but after
    installing all machine, I can't reboot again.

    It looks like that the SILO is wrong (of course ! on my silo.conf root
    is mounted on /dev/sda5, that doesn't exist).
    I worked already with RH 6.2 and I remember that I had an initrd file,
    which is missing on SuSE. Could be that the problem ??

    I'll be very glad for *ANY* help !

    Thanks,
            Andre
