I added a.out executable format support, which is used for prom-bootable files.
Now SILO loads if a complete file is given as hda. There are problems with device opening and block loading, and the partition offset has no effect. We also need to support the ancient sd(controller, unit, lun) syntax.

SILO No config file loaded, you can boot just from this command line Type [prompath;]part/path_to_image [parameters] on the prompt E.g. /iommu/sbus/espdma/esp/sd@3,0;4/vmlinux root=/dev/sda4 or 2/vmlinux.live (to load vmlinux.live from 2nd partition of boot disk)
Your imagename `:d' and arguments `' have either wrong syntax, or describe a label which is not present in silo.conf Type `help' at the boot: prompt if you need it and then try again. boot: /iommu/sbus/espdma/esp/sd@2,0;;4/vmlinux
