You'll do a "make vmlinux" instead of "make zImage" or "make zlilo"... the image does not have to be compressed on SPARC like it does on i386.
Afterwards, you'll be left with "vmlinux" and "System.map" files in the root of the kernel source tree (/usr/src/linux)... copy them to /boot and edit your /etc/silo.conf appropriately. Also, know that there's no need to run "silo" after editing the silo.conf file... silo can read ext2 filesystems.
Good luck... see http://www.ultralinux.org/ for more info. There are also some good mailing lists for Linux/SPARC that you can find info on at that site... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
