 When it is the time to make the disk bootable, this is the message I
 am getting:

 "SILO wasn't able to install. You'll still be able to boot your
 system if you create a boot floppy, but it won't be able to boot
 without a floppy."

 What could be causing that and what can I do?

Can you show me the partition map from fdisk?

You mean this:

/dev/sda
  /dev/sda1            1    102      49M  ext3        /boot
/dev/sda2 103 899 382M ext3 / /dev/sda4 900 6175 2534M ext3 /usr /dev/sda5 6176 8104 926M ext3 /home
  /dev/sda6         8105   8637     256M  ext3        /var
  /dev/sda7         8638   9006     177M  swap

?

Also, switching to the
second console (ALT+F2) will show error messages more verbosely.

Does Alt+F2 work under kermit (I am using my Mac as console, connected to the first serial port)?
