Re: Ultra 5 silo installation problem

[John Kerr Anderson <johnan@umflint.edu>]

Hi I solved the problem...  I switched the hard disk and didn't 
realise that the sun id must be made when partitioning a non sun disk. 
After that Silo installed without a problem.

So, basically it was kind of a dumb mistake that I overlooked.  I'm new to 
sun hardware and I wasn't aware that you needed to add a sun id.

Thanks for all of the help though.  :-)
