Well, here's my silo.conf:

codeine3:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.20/arch/sparc/kernel# more /etc/silo.conf
partition=4
root=/dev/sda1
timeout=100
read-only
image=4/vmlinuz
  label=linux
image=4/vmlinuz.old
  label=old

and here's what those point to...

Oooh... wait a minute...  vmlinuz in boot points at what I think is the
old kernel image... vmlinuz-2.2.20-sun4cdm.  So it seems the kernel
deb's don't deal well with having a /boot that is a separate partition,
I'd consider that a bug on sparc, since silo won't allow you to use a
partition that goes beyond the 1 gig barrier (even though I have a PROM
that should only be limited to 2 gig).  I'll have to try messing with the
symlinks in /boot and see what happens.

Apparently not....
