SS10 not booting off internal hard drive
Hey, all.
I've got a SS10 with two 500 MB drives ( roughly ). I've made sure that
both have the Sun whole-disk partition on them ( 's' in fdisk ), but it
seems no matter what I do, I can't get it to boot off the internal disk.
Here's the partitioning scheme now ( sizes are rough estimates ):
Disk1:
/dev/sda1 10M /boot
/dev/sda2 64M swap
/dev/sda3 -- Whole Disk
/dev/sda4 300M /
/dev/sda5 130M /usr/share
Disk2:
/dev/sda1 430M /usr
/dev/sda2 64M swap
/dev/sda3 -- Whole Disk
Silo.conf:
partition=1
root=/dev/sda4
timeout=100
image=1/vmlinuz
label=linux
read-only
I can boot from floppy, and from cdrom, but everytime the SS boots, I get
this:
Boot device: /iommu/sbus/espdma@f,400000/esp@f,800000/sd@3,0 File and
args:
Illegal Instruction
attempts to:
boot disk:4
fail similarly.
I'm pretty new to the Sparc architecture, so any help would be
appreciated. I'd prefer not to have to mess with boot floppies or boot
cds...
Thanks,
Zac
