Since you explicitly called me ...
I simply dpkg -i the new kernel image from inside ben tftp image.
More specifically on a Sparc you do need a SUN disklabel with the
partition 3 set on the whole disk.
And no I never saw on a sparc any kernel asking for a MSDOS disklabel. (I
consider myself a 'beginner' still I own about 10 sparc all running
different solaris/linux/netbsd versions)
