Oh, yeah. That part as well, I forgot about that. SILO has to be on a ext2 or ext3 partition and /etc/silo.conf is usually located on this partition. Btw, the awesome guys at Oracle have prepared some patches for GRUB2 which add SPARC support to GRUB so that we can switch to GRUB2 in the future which make the boot process more robust. Unfortunately, GRUB2 upstream is currently not very active, so these patches have not been merged yet. > What's the current recommendation for the "Configure the package > manager" stage regarding mirror and directory? When asked for a mirror, use: * http://ftp.ports.debian.org with the directory: * /debian-ports/ You still need to skip "Select and install software" though since the package "debian-ports-archive-keyring" is missing in the target system. You can, however, do that later once the system has rebooted after the installation. Adrian -- .''`.
