    At http://www.ultralinux.org you can find some good FAQs. There's almost
    everything you should know to make a dual-boot system. If that's not
    enough for you, than try the answer books from Solaris - the chapters
    dedicated to PROM and boot prompt. That's how I started.

    PS: By the way LILO is for X86 guys, on Sparc you got SILO.
