    Hello!

    I got Linux up and running on my Ultra 10. Linux is installed on my
    second external SCSI disk (/dev/hdb1). I installed SILO there, too.
    So the boot command in OpenBoot should be

    boot /pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@1/disk@2,0

    When I try this, it says something like "The file just loaded does
    not seem to be an executable".

    I've tried adding :a (for first partition), no change there.

    When I boot from the installation CD and then select
    boot installed system - /dev/hdb1, it boots just fine.

    Toby
