<title>Install the <command>SILO</command> Boot Loader
9
The standard &architecture; boot loader is called <quote>silo</quote>.
11
<filename>/usr/share/doc/silo/</filename>. <command>SILO</command> is
12
similar in configuration and usage to <command>LILO</command>, with
13
a few exceptions. First of all, <command>SILO</command> allows you to
14
boot any kernel image on your drive, even if it is not listed in
15
<filename>/etc/silo.conf</filename>. This is because
16
<command>SILO</command> can actually read Linux partitions. Also,
17
<filename>/etc/silo.conf</filename> is read at boot time, so there is
18
no need to rerun <command>silo</command> after installing a new kernel
19
like you would with <command>LILO</command>. <command>SILO</command>
20
can also read UFS partitions, which means it can boot SunOS/Solaris
21
partitions as well. This is useful if you want to install GNU/Linux
22
alongside an existing SunOS/Solaris install.
