help with silo.conf

[Ryan Cresawn]

I need help configuring "silo.conf".  I have two internal disks on an
Ultra 2 Creator 3D.  Solaris is on disk0 and ultrapenguin is on
disk1.  I have set the default boot device to be disk1, however I
would like to add solaris to the "silo.conf".  Does anyone have a
simple example for dual boot?

Thanks in advance,
Ryan

Booting Solaris from SILO won't work on sparc64, sorry, no forth chaining is
implemented yet.
So, you basically should use
boot disk0
to boot Solaris and
boot disk1
to boot SILO (and probably Linux).
