DOH! Vmlinuz is the compressed bootimage while vmlinux is usually
a raw elf image of the kernel. Bootloaders generally expect a
compressed bootimage, not an elf image. Of course, if you just
copied arch/sparc/boot/zImage to /boot/vmlinux-1.0, then you should
be OK as long as your bootloader is pointing to it.
