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