If you don't need to multi-boot, I think you don't have to use silo. I
haven't tried this on debian, but done it on slackware; I use rdev.

rdev /vmlinuz /your/root/partition
rdev -R /vmlinuz 1

and make sure that /your/root/partition has the bootable flag set (use
fdisk).

Well, that's the hard way. The easiest one would be selecting "make the
hard disk bootable" on the debian's installation menu. I did that, and I
didn't have to mess around with /etc/silo.conf.
