Robert, the upgrade didn't touch the kernel. I don't know if that's
normal, but I didn't want to touch the kernel anyway.
under /lib/modules, I see 2.2.19. I think this is the kernel that comes
with Potato for Sparc
To tell you the truth, I'm sort of confused about the way SILO works. I
guess it's better than LILO, but I think LILO was easier to deal with.
Then again, that's when I had everything under one partition.
