Thanks. If silo is responsible, what other possibilities do I have to load 
the kernel? Please excuse, but it's the first time I'm working with sparc. 
What about:

- boot rom: can it load and run the kernel from disk/cdrom without silo

- grub: solaris 10 now uses a patched grub (patch sent to grub folks).
   something known/usable?

- boot net: the experimental tftpboot image... I will try this, but don't
   know what the image is (just kernel+initramfs? for the case I need a
   newer/other one)

Sascha.
