Thanks all for your answers. I did a try and err-search ;) and finally got it working.

Unable to find /vmlinuz on an IPX

Hiho... I just got an SparcStation IPX where I wanted to install Deb 2.2. (first Deb-install...) Everything seems to work great, but trying to reboot SILO states "could not find /vmlinuz" (or similar). So I think something is wrong with my silo-installtion... I rebooted with the rescue-disk, got
