_Description: Help on partitioning

+_Description: Warning: unsupported boot filesystem type!
+ In order to be successfully loaded by SILO (Sparc Linux Loader), the
+ kernel must reside on an ext2, ext3 or ufs formatted partition. In
+ the current partitioning scheme the kernel is going to be installed
+ on the ${SILO_PART} partition of type ${SILO_TYPE}. It is strongly
+ recommended that you go back to partitioning and correct this
+ problem. Keeping the current configuration may result in an

+_Description: Warning: boot partition may cause problems with SILO!
+ This machine is likely to suffer from a firmware bug, which makes it
+ impossible for SILO (Sparc Linux Loader) to boot a kernel placed
+ farther than 1 GB from the beginning of the disk. To avoid problems
+ it is strongly recommended to install the kernel into a partition
+ which fits entirely within the first GB of the disk (by creating a
+ small /boot partition in the beginning of the disk, for example). In
+ the current partitioning scheme it is going to be installed onto the
+ ${SILO_PART} partition which extends up to ${SILO_OFF} mark. Keeping
+ this configuration may result in an unbootable system.
