[T] It can understand berkeley fast filesystem, ext2/ext3 and sun ufs, [T] and re-reads the silo.conf at bootup. [T] compared to LILO (the x86 hardware bootloader), [T] you could select which kernel to boot based on a [T] limited choice of cpu architectures within the sparc world, [T] and you`ld only have to install SILO once.
