I tried that. I just a fresh install and left the disk as is from when
fdisk made the Sun Disk Label.
/dev/hda1 /
/dev/hda2 swap
/dev/hda3 whole disk
I go through the whole handbook without issue and then when i
configure silo I get this error.
(chroot) livecd etc # cp /etc/silo.conf /boot
(chroot) livecd etc # /sbin/silo -C /boot/silo.conf

Can anyone offer some insight as to what I'm running into here? On a
side note I tried Ubuntu Sparc 6.06 that I found and it installed fine
and ran fine on the machine but I didn't like it so tried gentoo
again.
Many thanks.
