I've tried first with RH 6.0 for SPARC, but with that I couldn't even boot
up my SPARC.

Something is wrong in script that installs silo, or I missed something
with partitioning my disk. I tried to install silo by myself... :
(pressed ctrl-z in install script to switchto shell)

# /mnt/sbin/silo -r /mnt
Fatal error: Cannot open superblock on /dev/sda1
# cat /mnt/etc/silo.conf
timeoutP
partition=1
root=/dev/sda1
image=/boot/vmlinux-2.2.2.gz
        label=linux
        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.2.img
        read-only

OK.. :)

So, I need help... Please :)
