This was in reply to another person's question, and that person (who
had a problem) had swap as the first partition.
I don't see how you conclude one from the other.
The man said that it works for him(tm)... that sounds relevant :)
I confirm ;-)
I have several Sparc (U1, U2, U60, U80, U420) that run fine for a very
long time with raid1 partition /boot that start on the first cylinder
(Sun disklabel). Silo is installed on partitions, not on whole disk.
