Part of the problem lies in the fact that silo.conf is empty.
If you copy a template from one of the other releases, correct the line which
has the size of the
initrd.gz file, and rebuild a SPARC bootable CD, it will probably work.
I say 'probably', since old versions of OBP only allocate memory for about 4MB,
and initrd.gz is larger. Versions of OBP > 4.0 seem to allow about 10MB
(netboot fails when the address shows 0xA00000),
so this shouldn't be a problem.
By the way, if you're rebuilding the CD, you'll need to save the VTOC ('dd
if=ubuntu-10.04-alternate-sparc.iso of=ubuntu.vtoc bs=512 count=1') since
mkisofs adds an invalid one.
