Try SILO 0.7.3-2 (ftp://ultra.linux.cz/OS/Linux/Sparc/local/silo/testing/silo-pre0.7.3-2.tgz). I hope it helps. Even if the right SILO is not in the install image, you can just install everything, then reboot and boot with boot net root=/dev/XXXX noinitrd Then install the new SILO and reboot your machine to see if it works. Until sun4c problems are debugged, I cannot release 0.7.3 and thus cannot put it into the install image.
