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.
