Is it SILO that is returning the error or the IPX's PROM parameters? Does the
machine come up and say 'ok boot vmlinuz' and then choke?
When I first started playing with Sun machines I changed the PROM to point to
vmlinuz and got the same error. I believe changing it to 'linux' did the trick.
Unfortunately I'm several miles from my Sparc right now, so I can't check.

Hiho...
I just got an SparcStation IPX where I wanted to install Deb 2.2. (first
Deb-install...)
Everything seems to work great, but trying to reboot SILO states "could
not find /vmlinuz" (or similar).
So I think something is wrong with my silo-installtion... I rebooted
with the rescue-disk, got my shell and tried to install it myself using
silo -r /target
Which does not give me an error (/boot is sda1, / is sda2).
silo.conf looks like
partition=1
root=/dev/sda2
timeout=100
image=1/vmlinuz
label=linux
read-only
Questions are - why is it not working, is the image=1/vmlinuz correct
and will I ever be able to find the question to the answer "42"?
Please also anwer to me personally as I am not subscribed to the list
(yet).

PS: Main reason to install Deb is to get a starting-point for
a Sparc-LFS (http://linuxfromscratch.org)
