I placed silo.conf in the /etc directory according to the installation
manual,but I ever tried to place a copy to the root directory,and it doesn't
work yet.
I am sure i compiled ext2 support into the kernel.But I formatted the root
partion as ext3.
The contents of silo.conf:
partition = 1
root = /dev/sdb1 # I installed gentoo onto the second scsi disk
timeout = 10
image = /boot/kernel-2.6.20-r4
label = linux
The contents of the /etc/fstab:
/dev/sdb1 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/sdb2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sdb4 /usr ext3 noatime 0 2
/dev/sdb5 /var ext3 noatime 0 2
/dev/sdb6 /home ext3 noatime 0 2
openprom /proc/openprom openpromfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0
