Still confused (Was: Re: SILO Fun)

	Ok, I am still confused.  I booted from the cd, in rescue 
mode, and then went to the shell to do some looking around:

/vmlinuz is defined as:

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           27 Dec  1 19:08 vmlinuz -> 
boot/vmlinuz-2.2.20-sun4cdm

/etc/silo.conf is defined as

# ls -l etc

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           17 Dec  1 19:40 silo.conf ->

so, it would make me think it does exist.  So, why is Silo complaining?

Boot device: /sbus/esp@0,800000/sd@3,0   File and args:
SILO Buggy old PROMs don't allow reading past 1GB from start of the 
disk. Send c
omplains to SMCC

Read error on block 360452 (tried 4096, got -1)

Cannot find /etc/silo.conf (Unknown ext2 error)

Couldn't load /etc/silo.conf
No config file loaded, you can boot just from this command line
Type [prompath;]part/path_to_image [parameters] on the prompt
E.g. /iommu/sbus/espdma/esp/sd@3,0;4/vmlinux root=/dev/sda4
or 2/vmlinux.live (to load vmlinux.live from 2nd partition of boot disk)
