# This version of silo is able to load solaris kernel already, you just
# specify the name of the image (usually /kernel/unix) without the
# /platform/SUNW,SparcStation_5 like stuff on Solaris 2.5+.
# You should type there a flag solaris, which tells it is a solaris kernel
# and needs special handling (you'll still need to have in / or
# /platform/... your solaris ufsboot loader). You can pass arguments to that
# kernel using literal argument.
# If you want to load a solaris kernel from the command line, you should
# either put a keyword solaris somewhere in parameters, or should use name
# /kernel/unix (which defaults to solaris).
