Re: Where is the boot/config-`uname -r` file?

Thanks to all for your help :)

I found the missing /boot partition with all its content. The solution was in the details that somehow I along with others missed was that after installing Debian on the 2nd Disk i.e. sdb on my machine (which already had Solaris on sda), for a few reasons I had exchanged the two disks physically (put disk1 in the slot of disk2 and vice-versa). However, I didn't edit /etc/fstab which was still pointing to /dev/sdb1 (as I posted/pasted before). But as you may have guessed /sdb was now actually sda. So simply doing mount /dev/sda1 /boot brought back my boot partition. I have now edited my fstab file to mount /dev/sda1 so /boot will mount everytime the system comes back up.

Thanks again :)

I suppose that you are using the "silo" bootloader, being a sparc
hardware, but the kernel image ("vmlinuz" or "zImage") should be placed
somewhere :-?
