SILO on ss20
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Quandary: On my ss20 (prom >2.0) SILO can only see files on the 1st gig of
the drive. I wanted a root partition larger than 1 gig. My solution was to
create a 10 meg partition (at the beginning of the drive) and mount /boot
to it.
This works, but the silo.conf file also has to be in /boot and I have to
call the silo binary with the '-c' option to specify where the silo.conf
file resides.
For all practical unix/linux purposes this is file with me, but I don't
like that it 'breaks' Debian or at least deviates from the /etc/[conffile]
standard, I have have to take extreme care when updating the kernel
package so I don't leave myself not booting. After an upgrade I have to
manually edit silo.conf and rerun the binary with the '-c'.
Has anyone else addressed this in a different way?
