Unless it has changed recently, the system I just installed last month
actually looks for it in /usr/src/linux, not /boot. It still complains
during boot even though I actually have one there, presumably it is looking
before filesystems are mounted.
I considered opening a bug, but it wasn't that important and I never really
got around to it.
A kludgy temporary fix would be:
# mount -o bind /dev/<rootdev> /mnt
# mkdir -p /mnt/usr/src/linux
# cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /mnt/usr/src/linux
# umount /mnt
8-/...
