Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Consider yourself corrected ;) The file you want is linux/vmlinux. That is the actual kernel, and that is what you copy. You are thinking of arch/i386/boot/bzImage, which is a compressed bootable image. SPARC/UltraSPARC doesn't need these kinds of oddities. You can take vmlinux and put that in /boot, and even compress it with gzip if you want.
