What you can do is re-IPL your installation setup, mount the root file system on /mnt (for instance), then do a "chroot /mnt". From there, cd to /boot, and re-run the silo command. You should see something similar to this, which will indicate success: Silo:o->image set to /boot/image-2.2.16-122-tape Silo:o->ipldevice set to /dev/dasda Silo:o->parmfile set to /boot/par Silo:o->bootsect set to /boot/ipleckd.boot Silo:o->Testonly flag is now 0 Silo:o->Testlevel is set to 0 Silo:o->IPL device is:'/dev/dasda ' Silo:o->bootsector is:'/boot/ipleckd.boot '...ok... Silo:o->bootmap is:'/boot/image-2.2.16-122-tape ' ....ok... Silo:o->Kernel image is:'/boot/ipleckd.boot ' ....ok... Silo:o->original parameterfile is:'/boot/parm '...ok...final parameter parm is:'/boot/parm ' ....ok... Silo:ix 0:offset:078523 count:0c address 0x00000000 Silo:ix 1:offset:078530 count:80 address 0x0000c000 Silo:ix 2:offset:0785b0 count:80 address 0x0008c000 Silo:ix 3:offset:078630 count:6f address 0x0010c000 Silo:ix 4:offset:07a8de count:01 address 0x00008000 Silo:Bootmap is in block no:0x00001ed7 At that point, you should "exit" followed by "cd /" followed by "umount /mnt" followed by re-trying your IPL from the SE.
