booting on t1000
I've installed both squeeze and wheezy on sun t1000. With each
installation, I have two odd issues:
I must manually intervene to make SILO boot the system:
Boot device: disk0 File and args:
SILO Version 1.4.14
boot: boot:
the system will just sit there seemingly forever if i do not press
<enter> or enter Linux<enter>
What's causing SILO to not timeout and continue booting?
I've tried booting with and without the :3 appendage to my disk0 alias.
that doesnt seem to be part of the issue. i've also tried setting
timeout=0 in my silo.conf, but that didnt change anything either.
{0} ok printenv boot-device
boot-device = disk0 disk1 net
{0} ok devalias disk0
disk0 /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@2/disk@0,0:3
{0} ok devalias disk1
disk1 /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@2/disk@1,0:3
root@t1000:~# cat /boot/silo.conf
root=/dev/md1
partition=1
default=Linux
read-only
timeout=10
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
initrd=/initrd.img
root@t1000:~# df -h

/dev/sdb1 183M 33M 141M 19% /bootm
The other problem is that the console seems to lock after I get a
warning message:
[....] Starting MD monitoring service: mdadm --monitor. ok
[....] Starting deferred execution scheduler: atd. ok
[ 154.046571] tg3 0001:03:04.0: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex

ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready
. ok
[....] Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd. ok
[....] Starting MTA: exim4. ok
I get no login prompt, pressing any keys including <enter> doesn't seem
to affect the console. SSH works fine, though.
any ideas on either issue ?
