[Aurora-sparc-user] SILO woes

[Kyle Gordon]

So I was running Aurora for about 4 months straight on it's 2.0Beta
version and it worked great the entire time. However, I blew my cdrom
and harddrive in a power outage.

After getting two new devices, I went to reinstall Aurora on my Sun
Blade 100. As soon as I booted up it said:

Can't read disk label.
Can't open disk label package
Can't open boot device

Since it is a blank disk, I expect this. I tell it to:

boot cdrom linux ide=nodma

It responds:

Can't read disk label.
Can't open disk label package
Can't open boot device

Now I have a problem, so I probe-ide and am glad to see that SILO sees
both the CDROM and HD.

I do a show-devs and sure enough both the disk and cdrom are on:
/ide at d/disk
/ide at d/cdrom

Figureing that I will be alright, I tell SILO to boot /ide at d/cdrom
linux ide=nodma

It runs the install just fine, even sees the correct HD to install on
when I tell it to automatically set up partitions. The problem comes
when I reboot from install.

I tell SILO to:

boot disk0 linux single

It comes back:
Can't read disk label.
Can't open disk label package
Can't open boot device

So I try:
boot /ide at d/disk linux single

It comes back again with:
Can't read disk label.
Can't open disk label package
Can't open boot device


I know the disk works and I know it also has a linux partition already
on it. Can anyone help me here? Google was most unhelpful.
