Re: Linux on a Sun Enterprise 5000?
Sounds like SILO needs to be updated as to the boot device. If your previous
install is configured for /dev/sda and the drive shows as something else
(like /dev/sdb) it won't boot.
Of course, I'm speaking from experiance booting Debian directly, not using a
tftpboot, but I think the problem is basically the same even if the actual
fix is a little different.
