e250 won't boot from SILO

[Dave West <codewrangler77@yahoo.com>]

I've got a sun e250 that installs fine and correctly
using tftp/ftp and the debian beta 4 installer. I have
installed debian testing (sarge) and tried both the
smp and the uniprocessor 2.4.26 kernels. The problem
is that it won't boot correctly off of SILO, whether
that's from the hard disk or from the cdrom. It works
fine off of a boot net into the tftp installer.

I get:
SILO version 1.4.4
boot:
Allocated 8 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel
Uncompressing image...
Loaded kernel version 2.4.26
Illegal Instruction
{0} ok

With boot CD ("minimal" CD
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/sparc/beta4/sarge-sparc-netinst.iso)

[ ENTER - boot install] [ Type 'Rescue' boot into
rescue mode]
boot: rescue
Allocated 8 megs of memory....
Loaded kernel version 2.4.24
Loading initial ramdisk (blah blah bytes at blah)
Illegal Instruction

{0} ok boot cdrom

[ ENTER - boot install] [ Type 'Rescue' boot into
rescue mode]
boot: linux root=/dev/rd/0 rw
Allocated 8 megs of memory....
Loaded kernel version 2.4.24
Loading initial ramdisk (blah blah bytes at blah)
Illegal Instruction
{0} ok

Anyone have any hints for me or any other testing
things I can try? My friend and I have looked into it
and we have a suspicion that it's SILO because the
netboot works fine with 2.4.24. I'm also not on the
list so please cc me with any responses to the list. 

Thanks,
--dw
