\fBsiloconfig\fP \- interactive configure script for the Sparc Improved boot LOader
5
\fB/usr/sbin/siloconfig\fP
7
\fBsiloconfig\fP is an interactive program which will ask you a series
8
of questions and write a \fBsilo.conf(5)\fP configuration file for
9
you. It will also set up a partition boot record, so that Linux will
10
boot from hard disk. It is normally run automatically whenever you
11
upgrade the \fBsilo(8)\fP Debian package.
13
The configuration file generated by \fBsiloconfig\fP is intended
14
for common installations; if your setup is complicated or unusual
15
you should consider writing your own customised \fBsilo.conf(5)\fP.
16
To do this, you should refer to the comprehensive \fBsilo(8)\fP
17
documentation, which can be found in /usr/share/doc/silo/ on Debian
20
If you have already written your own \fBsilo.conf(5)\fP, then the
21
script will ask you if you wish to keep it, in which case it will
22
check it for options which are incompatible with the current version
23
of \fBsilo(8)\fP and run it to install the boot block.
25
The automatically generated \fBsilo.conf(5)\fP contains helpful
26
comments, so it might well be a good place to start even if you wish
27
to roll your own configuration file.
