Historically, the kernel was stored in the root directory /. The /boot directory appeared only when a few distributions started to propose several kernels to boot on and several other facilities (such as memtest like applications).

So, if you miss a /boot directory, the kernel (vmlinuz in your case) is more likely to be at /.

You might try changing directly to that address. eg cd /boot/vmlinuz I know some filing systems don't allow you to stop in a given directory (eg Netware).
