Hi,

 

I have copied the Debian 5.0.6 ISO and began installing this to a SPARC
V240 server. 

 

However almost at the end of the install and an error occurs 'The Silo
package failed to install into /target, installing SILO as a boot loader
is a required step'

 

I have searched forums with a resolution to this error, without joy.

 

Forums suggest that the first partition must be an ext2 or ext3 and it
should be mounted as /boot.

 

The partitioned disks on the server currently look like this;

 

#1 98.7MB F EXT3 /BOOT

#2 34.7GB F EXT3 /

#4 1.6GB F SWAP SWAP

 

Can you suggest how to resolve this issue? Is it something with my
partitioned disks that needs to be changed?

 

Thank you
