The code is small, but as it needs libgcrypt (which needs opencdk and

SparcStation 20 and SILO
Hello, I have been having some serious issues trying to get a SparcStation 20 to boot. In order to install debian I had to net-boot the machine since it did not like the cd-rom for some reason. The installation process has had problems at the very end when Making the system bootable and has come up with a non-specific failure. Other times it succeeds and simply wants to reboot. Either way, when I try and boot the machine from the drive I just installed debian on, it gives me an error in the open boot prom: The file just loaded does not appear to be executable. I have looked all over the place online and found only one reference to someone who changed a parameter in /etc/silo.conf which I tried with no success. Any help or even suggestions as to how to get this thing moving would be highly appreciated.
