Generic boot loader for Linux on SPARC Computers

 SILO (SPARC Image LOader) is a first and second stage bootloader
 called by the openboot prom for loading linux or solaris.

 and re-reads the silo.conf at bootup.

 you could select which kernel to boot based on a
 limited choice of cpu architectures within the sparc world,
 and you`ld only have to install SILO once.
