The correct files to use on Sparc are /usr/src/linux/vmlinux and
/usr/src/linux/System.map. SILO knows how to use the vmlinux from the top
of the kernel tree. (There is no zImage since SILO recognizes straight
gzip compression and can uncompress a kernel image itself. The user just
needs to do gzip -9 vmlinux.)
