It is indeed `s' as I managed to write a Sun label by now - but it does
still not occurr in the help.
I took the image files from our german ftp mirror... But alas I still
cannot boot from the hard disk although I now /have/ a ext2 partition
starting at 0 and I also have a whole_disk partition - but OpenBoot still
says `sd(0) not ready'. At least silo did not give any warnings but
configured correctly...
I am just installing the rest by now before I continue to check up on that
silo thingy...
