Is the partition containing your boot kernel and silo.conf under 2
gigabytes in size and first in the partition table?
My partition layout on a 9G drive is a ~50M /boot ext2 first, 256M swap,
and / covering most of the rest of the drive. There's a "whole disk"
Sun label as partition 3.

My U2 acquired in October has dual 296 MHz, one 9G HD, 384M RAM, Creator
3D graphics. I used the Sarge businesscard ISO from around October 21.
Aside from the missing esp module, the install went perfectly and the
machine has been in daily use as my primary office workstation for a
month.
This was the easiest and most robust Sparc Linux install I've done out
of eleven.
