[ Please CC me on all replies ] I'm currently trying to install Debian on a Sun Enterprise 450 with a SCSI drive. OpenBSD's bootloader has worked fine in the past, but when trying to install silo, it seems that nothing ever gets written onto the disk; when booting, OpenBoot can't recognize any valid boot loader on the drive. I've tried versions of silo all the way up to 1.3.0, and not a single one of them ever prints an error; strace seems to show that silo is writing stuff to the disk, but booting is never successful. The disk can be written to perfectly fine, and can be mounted from the a SPARC netinst CD shell.
Any suggestions? I'm really stumped on this and I've tried everything I could think of.
