Subject: [suse-sparc] Choosing partitions for booting Linux with OpenBoot

    I have installed SuSE 7.3 onto a disk which also contains Solaris 8.
    YaST selected /dev/hda5 for the boot partition and /dev/hda8 for root.

    Is it possible to get OpenBoot to select /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4 (==
    /dev/hda5) for booting ? I am running an Ultra10 with 1 IDE disk.

    I assume it is easier to use a second disk and use the following
    OpenBoot command
      boot /pci@1f,1/pci@1,1/ide@3/disk@1,0

    Any help would be great.
