Subject: [suse-sparc] Problem with SILO

    Hi,

    this time in English,

    Itīs a SS20 with ROM 2.22

    Ok,

    on Disk with SCSI ID 3 Iīve installed SuSe 7.3,
    on Disk with SCSI ID 1 Iīve installed Solaris 9.

    In PROM I can boot both Systems by using "boot linux" or "boot solaris". I
    did this nvalias stuff in the prom.

    This ist silo.conf file

    ------
    timeout=1000
    partition=1
    read-only

    image=/vmlinuz
      label=linux
      root=/dev/sdb4

    other=/iommu/sbus/espdma/esp/sd@1,0;1
      label=solaris
    ------

    Booting Linux works fine (beside my other question)

    but if I try to boot solaris I get this error message

    ------
    Fatal error: Wrong disklabel magic
    Buggy old PROMs donīt allow reading past 1GB from start of the disk. Send
    complains to SMCC

    Read error on block 1 (tried 512, got -1)

    Internal error while loading physical blocks from device

    Image not found.... try again
    ------

    any suggestions

    thanks

    Peter
