Add an image directive like this :

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.25-sun4u
        label=linux
        read-only

Make sure the labels differ, else in your eyes strange things will happen

The simply reboot, no need to rerun silo, as it can read ext2 / ext3

You're sure the image actually exists ? I use gzipped images to boot. Also 
make sure it's a 64 binary.
