6 Thanks. If silo is responsible, what other possibilities do I have to load
7 the kernel? Please excuse, but it's the first time I'm working with sparc.
8 What about:
9
10 - boot rom: can it load and run the kernel from disk/cdrom without silo
11
12 - grub: solaris 10 now uses a patched grub (patch sent to grub folks).
13 something known/usable?
14
15 - boot net: the experimental tftpboot image... I will try this, but don't
16 know what the image is (just kernel+initramfs? for the case I need a
17 newer/other one)

19 Sascha.
