Dear list,

I yust bought a Sparc5/170 and after some usefull tips from some of you, I 
could install the operating system without any significant problems.
Due to the fact, that I do not intend to install another OpSys, I decided 
to boot with the MBR. So I told it to YaST2.
After  installing it succesfully and effective connection to my private 
network I drove the machine down to test the behavior of my Sparc during 
the reboot 

Now the issue: This machine does'nt wont to boot.

So I've seen, while booting  it with the rescue system, there are some 
flags, dedicated to the spezific partitions - I've made more of them - to 
see in the fdisk. 
My assumption now is, that I have to switch one of them to tell the 
machine the boot partition.

Anyone out there, who could give me a advice to tune for proper booting?

best regards
