Silo config on Ultra 5

[catalyst1]

I am trying to get Gentoo going on an Ultra 5.
I've modified the silo.conf to be what I think should be appropriate. WHen I run 'silo' I get "Fatal error: cannot open second stage loader /boot/second.b"

What is this and where do I get it? The install docs are very vague about boot setup on sparc gentoo. Even mentioning grub later on.

I'm confused.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hiya catalyst1,

I have included a copy of my current silo.conf from an ultra 5

partition = 1
root = /dev/hda1
timeout = 10
image = /vmlinuz
label = Gentoo

And here is my partition table (for clarification)
Disk /dev/hda (Sun disk label): 16 heads, 63 sectors, 17660 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes

Device Flag Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 0 17479 8809416 83 Linux native
/dev/hda2 u 17479 17660 91224 82 Linux swap


As for /boot/second.b, it is installed by the silo package. If you made a seperate parition for /boot make sure it is mounted when you run silo.

I got it working. I must not have had my root partition mounted when I extracted the Stage 3. All the required files for SILO were in the "wrong" /boot.
