Also try "ls" at the silo prompt and see if it's there. More than likely
this is caused by boot being on a seperate partition. Might want to redo
that installation without the extra /boot (try a 500Meg "/", 1G "/usr" and
512Meg swap).

Needs more than this, have to create a symlink from /boot/etc to "."
(unless you reinstall SILO with some extra params).
