Since the 2.6.x kernel is an initrd kernel (apparently), you probably
need a line like:

in this stanza of silo.conf.

Wow. I just installed Debian on a Sunblade 100. Cool. Other than some
trouble getting the boot process started (CD wouldn't boot; had to learn
how to do tftp) and some issues with fdisk (being familiar with cfdisk),
it went smoothly, very similar to the x86 world. Great job, Developers!

I'm installing Debian on a SunBlade 100; never done it before. Early on
in the process when it asks me to select the keyboard I took the default

the *wrong* thing to do. I had to hit the power button to regain
control.
