Hello, I'm doing a network install of Woody on my Ultra 5, and I hope to be able to dualboot to Solaris 9, which is already on it. I have read some FAQs, but I guess I have made a few silly false beginner assumptions.
This is my disk: Disk /dev/hda (Sun disk label): 16 heads, 63 sectors, 39702 cylinders Device Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 17354 27512 5119632 2 SunOS root /dev/hda2 0 1041 524664 3 SunOS swap /dev/hda3 0 39702 20009808 5 Whole disk /dev/hda4 1041 17354 8221752 83 Linux native /dev/hda8 27512 39702 6143760 8 SunOS home First off, is this setup any wise? Can I share the swap (I think yes) and home (according to Google in 2001, no) partitions? This is my self-created /target/etc/silo.conf, sitting in tty2 in the Debian installer: partition=4 root=/dev/hda4 timeout=100 image=/vmlinuz label=linux read-only image=/vmlinuz.old label=linux-old read-only other=/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0:a label=solaris # silo -r /target -f /etc/silo.conf appears to be valid # No sign of real writing.. When I reboot, 'boot disk:d' at the prom returns that 'the loaded file appears not to be executable'. That is a FAQ, but the answers on Google do not indicate how to solve it. 'boot /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0:d' gives the same. 'boot net root=/dev/hda4' just starts the installer from scratch over again.. :( I have thought of using 'partition=1', but in that case I think I might not be able to boot Solaris anymore. Thanks for any help. Regards, Pieter-Paul Spiertz
