Sounds like it is booting the kernel ok, just not passing the root.bin as an initrd. Try this command line: (NOTE: the sparc32.gz might just need to be sparc32, do an "ls /boot" to see, and yes, SILO supports ls). SILO: /boot/sparc32.gz initrd=/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-sparc/current/images-1.44/root.bin -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ Deqo - http://www.deqo.com/
